Get Hyped for Epic Hyperdrive

On Sunday, April 21, 2024, Epic Hyperdrive will go live systemwide. This follows successful launches at HMB and HMCL earlier this year. To help you prepare, please review your role-based Hyperdrive Companion. Click here to access.

Hyperdrive is a special internet browser – like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge – but only used to access a web-based version of Epic. This change is behind-the-scenes, so you’ll still use the same link, icon or access portal to access Epic. You’ll also see a more modern look and feel to some activities, as well as some improved workflows and system performance.

Hyperdrive also includes some new features, including the ability to update Epic faster, with shorter downtimes. This means better reliability so you can do what you do best — take care of our patients.

Changes with Epic Hyperdrive Update

• Find Recent Searches in Storyboard. The Search field in Storyboard shows the five most recent patient information searches before you start typing to make it easier for you.

• Find Activities More Easily with Synonyms. There are more synonyms to help you find activities when you can’t remember the exact name. For example, searching for “slicer dicer” returns a result for the SlicerDicer activity.

• Identify “My Patients” in Searches. Use the My Patients checkbox in Patient Lookup to find patients you’ve interacted with before.

• Know a Patient’s Status. You are notified of appointment status changes (like when the patient is in the waiting room), via Epic on a workstation, Haiku, Canto and Rover.

• Zoom In and Out. Zoom in and out in Epic on a workstation to fit more content on the screen or to make content easier to see. Zooming in Epic on a workstation works like to popular web browsers such as Chrome or Edge.

New Hire Nurses

All Epic training is taking place remotely, either through live, instructor-led WebEx courses or self-paced online courses. At this time, live WebEx courses continue on the same dates and times as scheduled in LMS.

We are now offering a two-part training program to better serve our new nurses. The first session consists of an online, self-paced learning and the second is an instructor-led WebEx.
