EPIC at Goldfarb

At BJC HealthCare, EPIC is the main system to access, organize, store and share electronic medical records. All our students and instructors must complete the required EPIC training prior to the start of their rotation.

Once you are trusted with access to real patient records, you are expected to be a good steward of that information. Keep in mind that you need to follow HIPAA rules. All access to protected health information (PHI) is recorded and subject to audit. Please access patient information only when needed for patient care and keep it confidential. As mentioned before, do not print, download, share, take screenshots, etc. of the patient information; it is against the law and everybody at the College and the hospitals takes it very seriously.

Students: The training is 2 hours of online eLearning that is hosted in SABA. Complete the training at least 5 business days before the start of the clinical rotation or your access will not be processed on time. Access will not be provided until training has been completed. Once access is provided you will be able to open EPIC and document per the criteria of the hospital/care facility.

Instructors: You are required to complete both eLearning and classroom training. You need to email EpicProgramTraining@bjc.org to register for classroom training for instructors (Nursing Instructor 101). Classes are limited so email them as soon as possible.
