Are you an Epic Clarity change manager responsible for verifying, planning and preparing your healthcare organization for new release upgrades?\u00a0\u00a0 Ever run into situations where the distributed Nova Release Notes were incomplete or inaccurate, resulting in a release going live with some unexpected issues you had not been prepared for?<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>
Keep calm and finditez to fix this<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To be fair, the Epic software is very complex and has a large team working hard to continually enhance their offering.\u00a0\u00a0 It is not uncommon with delivery deadlines and last minute changes within a release that some updates don’t make it all the way back into the documentation that is distributed, despite all the best intentions and attention to detail.<\/p>\n

Remember beaker from the muppets?\u00a0\u00a0 He had that expression and expectation that every experiment ( Epic release ) would have some pain.\u00a0\u00a0 It is not IF, but WHEN the pain would come.\u00a0 Just look at that hair and those eyes clearly expressing the stress and fear.\u00a0\u00a0 From experience, it was inevitable that it would likely happen, again.<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t have to be that way.\u00a0 You don’t need your client group cringing everytime an Epic release change is implemented.\u00a0\u00a0 They can, in fact, experience the positive emotion of “hey, that was seamless” … and these new features are fantastic!<\/p>\n

It goes beyond just the Epic release and what the vendor can alert you to.\u00a0 What about all of your own custom programs, interfaces and reports built on top of the Epic SQL Server or Oracle data warehouse?\u00a0 You need a way to search not only the vendor code within the release, but also where and how changes to their underlying data model may affect your customized reports and programs.<\/p>\n
