This past week I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the first-ever Super User Champion Boot Camp at the VA Orlando SimVet Center, helping prepare for the Cleveland VA’s upcoming EHRM conversion later this month.
This pilot experience gave us the opportunity to work hands-on in the new electronic health record using real-life scenarios, troubleshoot workflows specific to our VA, and identify potential issues before we ever use the system in actual patient care. We were able to test, problem-solve, ask questions, and work through solutions in a safe environment — ultimately helping make the transition smoother for both our staff and, most importantly, our Veterans.
The experience was incredibly valuable, and the SimVet staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, supported, and prepared. The success of this first pilot boot camp ultimately led to the decision to continue offering these experiences to other VA facilities before they go live with the new EHR.
And to finish the week, we were presented with these special tokens as a thank-you for our participation and commitment to serving our Veterans and continually improving the care we provide. 🇺🇸
Proud to be part of the team helping pave the way for this transition at Cleveland VA. ❤️💙
Serving those who served. 🇺🇸
