For Managers (either the floating employee’s manager or the department manager where the employee will work):

  • Complete this request form as soon as you know someone will need Epic access.

  • If you have multiple floating employees, attach a spreadsheet with all required information.

  • Submit the form(s) to the IT Help Desk withCOVID-19 Epic Floater Access Request as the subject line.

For Employees:

  • Complete and pass the required online or WebEx training.

  • Click here for course information.

  • Note: If you currently have view-only Epic access and are floating to a new role, you must complete an Epic New Hire training course. It is not sufficient to take a floater fast track course. Epic access will be granted after form submission and training are complete.
