eStar to be updated Aug. 30

eStar will be updated on Aug. 30 and will require a downtime to ensure the changes are applied (a new eStar module for cardiology, known as Cupid, will also be implemented at this same time). Please review the information below to ensure you and your teams are prepared for the changes you'll see once the update is complete.

Leaders & Managers: How to Prepare

1. Download/View Materials

• Download and review the Leadership Toolkit
• View the webinar reviewing the Leadership Toolkit (coming Aug. 12)
• View the executive summary most relevant to your area(s) for a general overview of major changes:

      o Inpatient Clinical

      o Inpatient Non-Clinical

      o Outpatient Clinical

      o Outpatient Non-Clinical

2. Prepare Your Teams

• Identify the Guides to the Galaxy applicable to your area (see below)
• Designate area for staff to review changes in Playground
• Review webinar slides (coming Aug. 12), executive summaries (see above), and/or discuss talking points in staff or department meetings

End Users: How to Prepare

1. Review your Guide to the Galaxy

Each guide contains an overview of the changes based on role. Users should review the Guide to the Galaxy most appropriate for your role (all Guides are stored in Hubbl): § Providers § Nurses and clinical staff § Pharmacy § Ancillary clinical staff § Non-clinical staff

• Electronic booklets are divided into role-specific bundles
• Each book begins with a chapter on general changes
• Primary eStar applications are divided alphabetically into chapter
• Secondary applications are at the end of the book and divided by area of focus, such as In Basket or Care Everywhere.

2. Practice in the Playground Spend some time in the eStar playground – find your training log-in on Hubbl.
