EPIC is an EMR used by many health care facilities around the state of Indiana. If you are scheduled to complete a clinical rotation in a health care facility that uses EPIC and you have not previously completed EPIC training, please notify your statewide course coordinator who will provide you with your departmental training log-in code and (also outlined below in this section).
These instructions are for EPIC training while completing a clinical rotation at Eskenazi. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact your statewide clerkship coordinator or IU School of Medicine Compliance at compreq@iu.edu.
Most Phase 3 students completed EPIC training during Phase 2 rotations and will not need to complete the training again during Phase 3. However, if you are a Phase 3 student and did not complete this training previously, you must do so prior to the start of your scheduled clinical rotation at the facility utilizing EPIC. EPIC training reciprocity is offered in Indianapolis between Eskenazi Health, The Franciscan Alliance, and Community Health Systems facilities. If you previously completed EPIC training for one of those sites and will be rotating at another of these health care facilities, then please work with your statewide/regional course coordinator to initiate training reciprocity with the health care facility so that you do not have to duplicate your training.

DUO
Eskenazi Health utilizes the DUO two-step verification system for access to their information technology applications, including EPIC. Users are required to download Cisco’s Duo Mobile app to their mobile device. Once the App is downloaded, the user should contact the Service Desk at 317-880-7800 and provide their cell phone number to complete the DUO Enrollment process.
While IU School of Medicine and IU Health also use the DUO two-step verification system, Eskenazi’s DUO two-step system process is separate from the IU School of Medicine and IU Health DUO two-step system. You may use the same DUO application for both systems, and do not need to load the mobile application twice.

Epic Transcripts
If an EPIC reciprocal health care facility requests that you provide proof of completion of your EPIC training, you must transmit your EPIC transcripts to that health care facility. Please follow the instructions below. If you have any questions regarding transmission of your EPIC transcripts, please contact your statewide course coordinator, the IU School of Medicine Compliance at compreq@iu.edu, or the reciprocal health care facility to which you are onboarding.
- Access Healthstream at healthstream.com/hlc/eskenazi and log in with your 6-digit Eskenazi employee ID and associated password.
- Move to the "Completed" display and, if necessary, adjust the date range to cover the dates when you completed your online Epic training modules.
- Click "Print."
- The Customize window offers a second chance to adjust dates. Once they are set correctly click "Continue."
- Use the "Export" button to specify a PDF format, which will create a Student and Group Transcript Report in a new window. Use normal Windows functionality to save this report on your device.
- Email this report to your coordinator for forwarding to either Community Health Network or the Franciscan Alliance requesting that you be granted access to their Epic system without having to re-do the Epic training modules.
This process can be reversed if you first completed the Epic training at either Community Health Network or the Franciscan Alliance and are now rotating into Eskenazi for the first time.
