What you need to know
The next quarterly update to the Epic system is scheduled for Wednesday, August 10, 2022 from 1 a.m. – 4 a.m. This update will include changes to Epic applications to increase efficiency, improve care delivery and meet new regulatory requirements. DTS will also use this downtime window to perform updates and maintenance to other systems.
The system is in a “Read Only” state which allows full access to retrieve information including census, results and medication records, but does not allow update or changes.
Information in Epic is up-to-date when the downtime begins. However no new information will appear until the downtime is completed. Scheduled reports from Epic and Epic data on Enterprise Analytics & Insight will be delayed due to this downtime.
Please take the time to review your local procedures.
