Anyone Certified As An Epic Analyst?

informaticsBee · Nov 11, 2011

I also have been given this opportunity to work with EPIC as an analyst however the pay is a decrease for me and I need to make a decision very very soon. They would also like me to certify in ONC specialty. I feel like this is a nice oppurtunity and I am interested in this field. I would be going from Analyst 1 to 2 soon. any opinions would be appreciated.

Did you make a decision?

One of our local hospitals is implementing EPIC and is interviewing for system trainer positions. I've been asked to interview with the CIO and the Software Development Manager and feel pretty clueless since I have no software development experience. I have over 10 years of general trainer experience, to include training IT professionals in non-IT classes, and transitioned into healthcare just 2 years ago and currently work in an ambulatory clinic as an LPN. I really don't feel qualified for the position, and I don't understand why the interest in me. I guess I should feel good about this, and I really want this job, but I'd like to be better prepared for the interview. Can anyone tell me what a system trainer does besides train? According to the job description, I'd be responsible for workflow processes. What exactly is this?

Before you turn the job down - think about this. They (the CIO and the Manager) must see potential in you and the ability to do the job or why would they ask you to interview for it?

The questions you are asking here related to the role are question you should ask at the interview. Rememer you are also interviewing them. For questions to ask see the stickied topics at the bottom of the this Forum. Related to "work flow processes" see these articles of mine:

Feel free to give me a call and we can talk in more detail. I would hate for you to miss out an opportunity.

please how can i get certified on EPIC, i was told the training and certificate are meant for direct employee or consultant.

I am going to the Epic Corp soon to start working on my certification for the Epic System. I have been working as an Epic Analyst/Trainer for a short time, and no one in our group has their certification yet. The agency I worked with was small, and they have recently been bought out by a large health system.
The new health system has offered to send us to WI. for the certification, and we should start in the next month or so. We have been told it is a four part process, but very little else.
Is there someone who has been thru the process, who could tell me more?
Thank you in advance for any light you can shed on this process.
