EMR Super User News – January Edition

Training Information kiosks will run again in February (dates below), giving staff an opportunity to visit for a personalised chat with the Digital Health team about EMR Phase 2.1 training and to seek general EMR support. Please encourage any colleagues new to the organisation to pop down and ask any EMR queries. 

The Training Information Kiosks will run from 12:30pm to 2:00pm on the following days: 

In addition to the Training Information Kiosks, the Digital Health team will also be visiting wards at our EMR sites between 13th – 17th and 20th – 24th February. These Ward Walkarounds will give staff an opportunity to chat about upcoming EMR education opportunities, get assistance with signing up for Super User or other WeLearn training, and generally find out more about EMR Phase 2.1. And all from the convenience of the wards! 

Digital Health trainers are currently liaising with NUMs, MUMs and unit heads to find the best time for each ward, and full details on when and where the team will be visiting will be published here. 

We will run another Super User information session (via Zoom) on Wednesday 1st of February 2023, 2:00 – 2:30pm.

At this session, your will hear about: 

• An overview of the EMR Phase 2.1 Project 
• What being a Super User for Phase 2.1 will involve 
• What EMR training for Phase 2.1 will look like 

You can join the session via this Zoom link, or look out for the calendar invitation in your inbox! 

(Note that this session is a repeat of the Super User Information Session from October and November 2022.)

All sessions will be recorded and available on the Digital Health Presentations Page. We will soon send out invitations for monthly Super User updates in 2023.  

Here is the design for the Super User polo tops you will all be wearing during Go-Live.

The EMR Super User training schedule is being finalised. Bookings via WeLearn will open in February and Super User training will run for two months, commencing early April.

Super Users will receive in-person training that is specific to their role and work area, and there will be multiple sessions available to choose from so you can find a time convenient for you. We will let you know when bookings open so that you can book yourself a spot! 

The EMR Phase 2.1 WeLearn Modules will be launched in early April, and all Western Health EMR users will need to complete the module/s relevant to their role and work area prior to the EMR Phase 2.1 Go-Live in July.

Super Users will need to complete their WeLearn modules before they attend Super User training.
