Our Get Moving campaign/contest ended Tuesday, June 30. Thank you to those who submitted photos of you and/or your family getting outdoors and getting moving. From these submissions, we’d like to highlight three contestants for their efforts:

 Outpatient imaging joint ventures 

This Sunday, July 12, the Epic upgrade will deliver new features and functionality across most care and business settings. One of the new features is Storyboard, a new visual workspace layout. If you have not reviewed the Learning Home Dashboard (LHD) tip sheets for your area or viewed the LEARN training on Storyboard, please be sure to do so before July 12 so you are fully prepared to begin using the new functionality in Epic.

We are committed to continuing to improve the quality of patient care, leveraging efficiencies and delivering exceptional patient experiences. When the Epic upgrade goes live on July 12, here are some improvements you can expect to see:

• Most users will see a new workspace layout, Storyboard, which provides more patient information on a single screen and allows users to hover and discover more information to act from a single screen, creating efficiencies.
• Top changes for clinical users – Review the Brief Look at Epic Upgrade – Clinical Apps
• Top changes for Epic business users – Review the Brief Look at Epic Upgrade – Non-clinical apps

• Starting Friday, July 10 at 5 p.m. (1700 MT/1800 CT), certain customization features will not be available, including setting the favorite chart review filters, modifying NoteWriter macros, SmartPhrases and other similar tools. This is only temporary and will become available after the upgrade.
• Saturday, July 11 at 11:30 p.m. (2330 MT/0030 CT), the planned downtime for the upgrade begins.
• Epic will be unavailable for approximately two hours.

• Use the Epic SRO downtime procedures and the Epic Down 2 BCA web option during the two-hour planned downtime. 
• Community Connect end-users, use the Epic SRO downtime procedures during the downtime window and the Epic Downtime 3 BCA Web option.
• For Alaris interoperability recovery, utilize IV Pump Integration Downtime Recovery Checklist.

Starting July 12, in conjunction with the Epic upgrade, there will be a process change for ordering advanced imaging (CT, MR, NM, PET) to ensure we meet Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) mandate. Modifications have been made when ordering advanced imaging to provide valid exam options for sending an appropriate adherence modifier on the claim. Below are the details for meeting the new guidelines:

• Who is impacted: Any associate who enters imaging orders.
• What’s new: A structured reason for exam will be required for all advanced imaging orders. Reason buttons for the top 180 advanced imaging studies are being updated, such that any of the buttons in the Common or Trauma folders will result in an acceptable score for CMS purposes. Additionally, there will be an “Other – See Comments” button added to all common folders.  The free-text field will remain available to use in conjunction with the Other button, should the common and trauma indications not match the patient’s clinical scenario.
• Be prepared: If you have saved favorites of advanced imaging studies you will need to resave them after the upgrade. A tip sheet can be found on the Learning Home Dashboard (LHD) which will provide the new process to follow. Below is a quick view and steps to follow:

Centura Health is welcoming Kalli Creitz as an Administrative Resident with the AdventHealth Residency Program. She will spend three years working with several of our entities to assist in administrative roles and learn about health care operations.
 
Though based at Porter, Kalli will also be participating in rotations at the Centura corporate offices, as well as Avista, Castle Rock, Littleton, and Parker. She graduated this year from Walla Walla University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and a minor in Spanish. 

Her preceptor for the program, Porter Adventist Hospital CEO Todd Folkenberg, said, “Kalli learned a lot last year as a Centura intern, and she realized that the Residency program is a fabulous setting and balance between business and clinical, two areas that interest her.”

Specific areas Kalli would like to emphasize in her residency include marketing, human resources, and business development, as well as learning more about clinical operations.

If there are experiential projects that could both support your department in achieving our 2025 Aspirations as well as provide Kalli great experience and exposure to health care, please pass along your ideas to Kalli or to Todd. He will be working with her to prioritize and sequence these projects. 

Kalli can be reached by emailing KallieCreitz@centura.org. You may also email questions to Todd Folkenberg at ToddFolkenberg@centura.org.
