Improve Technology at Stanford

Epic Enhancements

Submit improvement and feature requests on Ask SHC. You can also call Stanford Healthcare IT Service Desk at +1-650-723-3333.  Submissions will be revied by the Stanford Provider Optimization Review Team. Requests from housestaff will be evaluated in collaboration with HITEC.  The improvement process takes time but do not be discouraged!

Physician Builders receive training directly from Epic on improving the EMR. Training is currently free.
