Update from the Quality Assurance Team

-

We’re excited to be offering you an opportunity to provide constructive feedback on our current monitoring process.  Participation is both voluntary and anonymous.  We’ve created a questionnaire consisting of several multiple-choice questions and one free text question that is expected to take approximately 1-2 minutes to complete.  The questions are focused around our QA monitoring process, from the time you receive the email notifying you that your study will be monitored through to when you submit the report responses to us.  

The link to the questionnaire will be located in the email you receive confirming your report responses have been received, however, you are welcome to provide your feedback at any-time here.

If there are any questions, please email us at: dsmc-quality@stanford.edu

How to Print Demographics from EPIC

-

If you are unable to print a certified copy of patient demographics and resort to printing a screenshot instead, we may have a solution for you!

But we can’t take the credit for it. This was brought to our attention by Stefania and Roan of the Head and Neck team. Thank you!

Please note: This function may not be available for all EPIC Departments. If you have any questions, please email dsmc-quality@stanford.edu

Steps for printing demographics from EPIC

1. Find your patient in EPIC

2. Find and Click SnapShot on the menu to the left-hand side of the screen

3. In the search field, enter PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS and press ENTER

4. Print!
