The team consists of a dedicated group of analysts specializing in Epic's Research module. We work collaboratively with researchers in an effort to enhance the functionality and overall effectiveness of research workflows in the EMR. We offer a variety of services ranging from workflow training to study-specific requests in the EMR.
