Personalization with the Skin Exam

Kyle from the Epic Physician well-being team discusses the personalization of the skin exam module in dermatology. He explains how the skin exam interface streamlines processes by grouping diagnoses, smart phrases, treatments, and suggestions for billing codes based on documentation provided. Users can tailor their experience by customizing the findings palette, creating smart phrases for common diagnoses and treatment plans, and utilizing treatment speed buttons for frequently used prescriptions or procedures. Kyle also highlights the importance of image capture features that facilitate easier documentation via mobile devices, ensuring images are attached correctly and labeled for future reference. Additionally, there is a process for managing patient skin cancer histories effectively and a two-way documentation feature that allows for collaborative input from team members. He emphasizes the importance of efficiently using the biopsy logbook, which keeps track of specimens and allows for tailored reports, enhancing user experience and focus on relevant tasks. Kyle encourages attendees to engage with online training resources to further enhance their use of Epic tools for superior clinical efficiency.
