Big Decisions
- Roll out all modules (preoperative h&p, intraoperative record, procedure document) at the same time, across all anesthetizing locations
- Use Epic “Macro” functionality to approximate the features we currently have with Centricity case scripts
- Refresh and re-evaluate current documentation practices
- Enable users to reference Centricity case script content within MiChart Anesthesia
- Develop a hybrid training curriculum with limited in-person, traditional classroom, training
- Moved up rollout 5 weeks (from April 2023 to March 2023) at the request of HITS due to scheduling of other MiChart projects

Anesthesia Project Guiding Principles
- We are not recreating Centricity in MiChart
- This is the time to re-think and improve our electronic workflow
- Be thoughtful when planning to deviate from Epic Foundation system and the impacts to future MiChart upgrades
- Leverage existing integrated MiChart build to decrease duplicate documentation when able
