Tippy - Provider Name Tweak in Schedule Lists

Tippies can be quickly adopted with immediate workflow benefits...

• Provider Name Display Tweak in Schedule Lists

In addition to confirming one's provincial provider registry, Connect Care PhoneBook and MyChart patient-facing demographics, prescribers can adjust how their name displays in outpatient schedule lists.

With your personal outpatient schedule selected, hover over your name in the top of the schedule display, right-click, and look for "Properties" in the pop-up menu. 

This allows those of us with multiple (or embarrassing) middle names to simplify how we are presented to others!

Tippy - Changing Jobs

Tippies can be quickly adopted with immediate workflow benefits...

• Changing Jobs

Some prescribers have more than one role (e.g., sometimes working as a respirologist and sometimes as a critical care specialist), and therefore they may log in to the Connect Care clinical information system (CIS) to access different Epic modules for their different “jobs”. These users will then have available more than one “job” template in the CIS, and are given the ability to change both “job” and “context” when logging in to Connect Care.

Each "job" may provide access to more than one clinical context or "department", selected as the next step in the login sequence. In general, pick the most general virtual department available (e.g., zone general internal medicine):

So, what's the Tip? Happily, once job and context have been selected once, they default to the same value at the next login and one can simply hit the Enter key twice. If one alternates between multiple jobs or contexts, the commonly selected ones are the ones defaulted to pick from.

And, once logged in, it is easy to change both job and context from the top-right "Log Out" drop-down menu:

This Tip applies only to those prescribers with multiple job options in Connect Care.
