Epic System Pause Wednesday, Aug. 14

Epic will experience a brief “system pause” for up to five minutes starting at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14.

  • No changes starting at 5 a.m.Some Epic personalization features will be unavailable, and no changes or enhancements can be made through 8:05 p.m. You’ll still be able to work in Epic as usual, but you won’t be able to apply filters in Chart Review, create, edit and share NoteWriter macros, SmartPhrases and SmartLinks or create and edit InBasket QuickActions.

  • If you’re logged in to Epic during the pause, a pop-up screen will appear, advising you that the pause is taking place. You won’t be able to proceed until the pause is complete. When the pop-up screen disappears, you can resume work where you left off, without any data loss.

  • Vitals and data will be stored during the pause and will flow into Epic after the pause.

  • If you attempt to log in to Epic during the pause, you’ll be able to enter your user ID and password, but Epic won’t fully open until the pause is complete.
