Before seeing the first patient, and after basic EPIC training, we recommend all incoming interns and residents to view this video created by 2017 outgoing residents. You will learn smart phrases that organize and create a high quality note and work flows that will make you more efficient from day one. This resource is also recommended for all clinicians seeing patients in the IMC. There is even a primer on macros and billing. Find the video here.

In January 2017 a resident team  initiated disease based visits in the IMC for patients with a diagnosis of heart failure. The goal is to move this population forward in their use of current HF protocol and to reduce hospital readmissions.

During the visit, patients are seen by the pharmacist, behavioral health and the managing resident. Visits are prepped using a special template that is added to the Care Coordination Note and the visit itself follows HF guidelines using a workflow and note template.  Use the PCMH menu item to access the HF Page.

This page contains a calendar and links to access all cases. If you are the lead or back up presenter, be prepared to read the case and guide the group through answering the questions.

Even if you are not leading, work through all the questions ahead of the session using the guideline links provided.
