EPIC USERS GROUP MEETING (UGM 2023)
When: August 21-23, 2023
Continuing Education Credit: UGM is an accredited Continuing Medical, Nursing, and
Pharmacy Education for in-person attendance. You can also get a general attendance
credit letter.
Overview of Conference:
UGM facilitates networking and the sharing of practical informatics knowledge for
physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other Epic users in order to improve patient
outcomes, patient safety, and patient care. This event features user presentations from
clinicians across the United States and overseas, deep-dive breakout discussions and
previews of upcoming functionality aimed at addressing issues raised by healthcare
organizations.
This conference is organized for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other Epic users to
network and share practical knowledge unique to their experience with Epic software.
The conference features user presentations, breakout discussions and upcoming
functionality previews of particular interest to our physician, nursing and pharmacist
communities. The content of these sessions reflects identified educational needs from
the experiences of established users, both in the user presentations and the Epic-led
discussions and previews.
A key feature in the success of Epic conferences is the presentation of experiences from
the user community. Organizations around the country have independently identified
areas of need, and leveraged EHR technology to address these areas in innovative
fashion. The shared wisdom of the user community, supplemented by Epic-led breakout
discussions and new functionality previews, create a learning experience for the
audience which incorporates deeper understanding of health care delivery, EHR
technology, and the interaction between the two.
In order to provide structure and context to the diverse content offerings, educational
material can be broadly categorized into four areas: 1) clinical care (decision support,
cost-effectiveness, patient safety, optimizing workflows), 2) Healthcare provider
efficiency (documentation, orders management, clinical data review), 3) Patient
experience (healthcare provider and patient communication, patient engagement), and
4) Analytics (disease management and population health) (Source:

Based on the 2022 Epic UGM, the target audience of this conference includes
physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians,
psychologists, and social workers.
