There have been logistical challenges related to regulations as well as ensuring that the quality of at-home-training is high enough to maintain provider and patient safety standards.
After further testing and several dry-run Training Sessions, the Epic Together Training Team is recommending that all trainees (including providers, managers and physicians) come on-site to a Training Facility to maximize your learning experience. Once at our facility, you will be equipped with all the necessary tools and resources to be successful. This includes all technical equipment, headsets, live tech support and additional trainers to leverage if need be. Feel free to bring your own headset if you would like to do so.
Capacity recently increased at Campus Drive and we are working around the clock to fill available spots for training, starting on March 8.

It is always a good idea to refresh your knowledge of the system prior to training. Your work has not gone to waste and will serve you well when you complete your full training with your new Wave.

LMS is the Learning Management System/ a.k.a. NetLearning, and it is the central hub that End Users, Managers, and Physicians will use to register for training, complete their prerequisites, attend their VILTs (Virtual Instructor-Led Trainings), and take their EUPAs (End User Proficiency Assessments). All End Users will have access to the NetLearning post go live and will use it for continued education.
The User’s NetLearning dashboard will reflect prerequisites and any post-go-live classes required. After the User registers for their VILT, it will populate to the top of the User’s To-Do List. Users will also receive a VILT confirmation email and a VILT reminder email before the day-of-class.
Reach additional training support at physician-epictraining@rwjbh.org or the Epic Hotline: M-F 8 am to 6 pm via 732-387-3371.

Due to the current circumstances, all training will follow a VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) format. Instructors are required to be in a separate location from End Users. End-Users will be provided a virtual site, i.e., a virtual meeting link/invite through PromisePoint, our VILT interface. Also, End-Users receive a physical location from which to attend the VILT.
All End Users will be assigned a training track which consists of WBTs (Web-Based Training), VILTs (Virtual Instructor-Led Training), EUPAs (End User Proficiency Assessments), Videos, and Labs.
