How can a clinician open a patient's chart in the EPIC system?

To access a patient's chart in the EPIC system, a clinician can double-click the patient’s name from the Patient Lists. This action directly opens the patient’s chart and provides immediate access to their information, which is essential for clinical decision-making and chart review. This method is efficient because it allows for quick navigation without additional steps or searches.

Using the search function, while it can also lead to patient chart access, may involve more time, particularly if the clinician needs to enter specific identifiers. Selecting the patient and pressing 'Open' is another method, but it can be less intuitive than simply double-clicking. Right-clicking may not be a standardized action for opening charts and could lead to confusion regarding available options, making it less effective compared to direct double-clicking in the Patient Lists.
