How Do I Become Epic Certified? What Type of Certifications Are There?

By Global HIT | Uncategorized | 0 comment | 29 January, 2020 | 0

As you may know Epic has won best in KLAS EMR software on numerous occasions.  They have won a variety of best in KLAS awards 9 out of the past 10 years.  With the growing demand for the Epic EMR, there is an increased need for certified Consultants.  According to ZipRecruiter, nationwide Epic certified Analysts make an average of $91,518 a year.  The figure will differ of course depending on the type of certifications and which state you work in.

You are now probably asking yourself, how do I become Epic certified?

As you may well have learned, there is no easy way to earn this.  There are only two ways of starting your journey to become certified: 1.) Getting sponsored by your hospital or 2.) Working directly for Epic Systems.  Even if you were able to have open doors to one of the two, it all depends on you.  Amy Demski wrote an article for Global Healthcare IT, going in to depth about her certification journey with Epic.

Another potential solution to get your foot in the door is to start off as a go-live/ATE/Help desk/etc Consultant.  Once you can take part in an implementation, you are more likely to increase your chances of becoming sponsored by a hospital.  Of course, it may take a handful of hospitals before you are given this opportunity, but it will increase your chances greatly.

What Type of Certifications Are There?

The great thing about Epic is that they have modules that cover 90% of a hospital needs.

Here is a list of some of the most popular, different Epic software modules:

  • ASAP: emergency room

  • Grand Central: manage hospital stays
  • Haiku: android and apple application
  • Healthy Planet: PHM
  • HIM: management of patient health records
  • Kaleidoscope: ophthalmology
  • MyChart: patient portal
  • MyChart Bedside: patient can track progress to discharge
  • OpTime/Anesthesia: scheduling and documentation for surgical procedures
