Abstract
My project plan for this internship described the goal to gain knowledge and experience working with the clinical analysts in the Lexington Medical Center information technology department. Those analysts are primarily responsible for building and supporting the hospital’s electronic health record (EHR) system (Epic) and other related clinical systems. The majority of my internship focused on learning how the clinical analysts build and support the Epic EHR and helping those analysts with various projects and tasks between April and September 2016. During those months, the scope of my internship broadened to include helping other IT teams with issues related to system integration, workflow redesign, system upgrade testing, and switching to a new ambulatory EHR.
