Virtual Drop-in Centre

Available during the launch period, approximately 3 weeks before launch and up to 6 weeks post-launch.

The Virtual Drop-in Centre (virtualhelp.connect-care.ca) provides support virtually, and is good for troubleshooting issues related to: mobility, personal devices, dictation, personalization and workflows; login, role and access problems; and more complex issues. The Virtual Drop-in Centre has access to additional resources when needed, such as Medical Affairs representatives for physician role issues and Epic resources for access problems. 

This virtual help is via an ongoing Zoom call, which allows for screen sharing and allows users to either join an existing group discussion or an individual "break-out" session. 

The Virtual Drop-in Centre will be available during the below times; information on how to access will be added closer to Launch 9.

Available during the launch period, from launch day up to 5 weeks post-launch.
