Epic 2025 Spring Upgrade - Community Connect Iowa
UI Health Care is committed to keeping current with Epic upgrades. This is done by installing new versions as they become available. The upgrade will include new functionality and improved user features. Some users may experience minor changes and others may have more extensive changes to their workflows.
The Epic 2025 Spring Upgrade is scheduled for April 12, 2025.
How can I see what Epic will look like after the upgrade?
On March 11, 2025, Epic Playground 3 (PLY3) will be made available with the new Epic version. Playground 3 is available to all staff with Epic access as a practice environment. Staff can use their Health Care login to explore the changes. For instructions on practicing in the Epic playground, including a list of practice patients to use in PLY3, visit the Epic Practice Page.
How will I find out about the changes?
Staff members are encouraged to begin reviewing the Epic Upgrade resources that are being developed to support our users through the upgrade. Upgrade resources will be posted to this page as they become available. In addition, presentations will be scheduled at a number of department and user group meetings. And all users will receive email notifications as additional information is available.
