Signal

Signal is an Epic-hosted web application that allows ambulatory and inpatient users to learn more about how they are using Connect Care. Signal provides each user with a personalized view of their own system usage data. Efficiency metrics are provided in four key areas:

Signal is not intended for measuring compliance or workload. 

Use Case

Though many Connect Care providers will have a “Signal” button appear in their Hyperdrive menu bar, only select prescribers will also have access to full Signal functionality. Epic uses inclusion criteria to automatically select which users can benefit from this function, using data from the most recent reporting period. About 10% of Connect Care prescribers will not meet the inclusion criteria during a particular reporting period. This does not mean that they will not meet criteria and see data displays in the future.

Users will know if they have access to Signal if (after creating an Epic Earth account, www.epicearth.com) account they see their Signal data load upon selecting the Signal button. If instead they see an error message, they then do not meet the inclusion criteria for the current reporting period. 

Access

To access Signal, you will need to first create an Epic Earth account (www.epicearth.com). See a FAQ for more information.
