EPIC CHANGES ON THE HORIZON
Significant and exciting upgrades are taking place on Feb. 12
What changes affect me?
Revenue and Access users can:
- Dismiss patients from locations and write free-text dismissal notes.
- Reprint receipts for any payment without leaving the current workflow.
- Review the redesigned Document List.
- View the MyUFHealth website from the patient’s perspective to assist in troubleshooting.
Clinical users can:
- Add attachments to messages sent to patients in MyUFHealth.
- Use order panels within telephone encounters.
- Adjust the font size on reports in Hyperspace.
- Filter appointments by status in the multiprovider schedule.
- Edit certain note types directly within the Preview After-Visit Summary activity.
- Save time as the diagnosis calculator no longer appears when a diagnosis is already specific.
- Select the Level of Service from the Visit taskbar.
Patients can:
- Receive attachments to messages from their provider in MyUFHealth.
- Receive assistance with the MyUFHealth website as staff can now see what the patient sees.
- View shared notes from visits and more detailed billing information on the MyChart mobile app.
- Search for and establish links to outside organizations where they’ve also received care.
- Update their preferred pharmacy in MyUFHealth.
Additional improvements:
- Health Information Management staff can unlink patients from outside organizations when performing merges.
- The Care Everywhere, or CE, icon now appears in Storyboard to show the patient’s CE status and link to Outside Records.
- Patient information from outside organizations now displays by default in Chart Review and Lifetime.
- A new Hyperspace theme, Carbon, is now available. This theme is similar to the dark mode setting used by other applications.
Didn’t we just upgrade?
After the Epic upgrade on Feb. 12, UF Health will transition to quarterly Epic updates. Instead of adding new features every 12 to 18 months, Epic will have smaller, more frequent updates and enhancements.
Epic is an electronic medical record software application with support functions related to patient care.

Specific dates and locations will be shared on the Bridge intranet and in Shands News.
