Summary
Ochsner Health has established the Epic Academy, a dedicated team of 70 professionals, to enhance the integration and support of the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system across its 47 hospitals. Launched in 2012, the Academy focuses on facilitating the transition from a proprietary EHR to Epic by providing personalized support to clinicians, thereby promoting effective change management. This initiative highlights the importance of specialized teams in healthcare technology adoption, particularly as organizations increasingly integrate advanced tools like AI. As Ochsner embraces further technological advancements, the Academy’s role in bridging the gap between clinicians and new technologies becomes crucial for improving patient care and operational efficiency.
