Managing Provider Team Lists in Epic for SICU Providers

How to Manage Provider Team Lists in Epic Info for SICU Providers

How to sign in to your list All providers (resident/APP, fellow, attending) are expected to sign in at the beginning of each shift.

Signing in is important because this action adds you to the treatment team for the patient. If nothing else, this makes it much easier for nurses to enter verbal/telephone orders under your name. Please be considerate of the nurses time!

2. The Sign In pop-up will appear. All information from your last shift will be auto-populated.
