Upgrade to Epic Hyperdrive starting soon; more details to come

IT & Epic

Ballad Health is upgrading to Epic Hyperdrive, a new platform for accessing Epic Hyperspace. We have prepared for this transition with our last couple Epic upgrades. This change will benefit our patients and our dedicated frontline team members, and it is a necessary step as we stay up-to-date with the latest Epic upgrades for security purposes.

The rollout of Hyperdrive will occur in three phases, with the first phase being a small pilot project this month involving select users at Franklin Woods Community Hospital and a few clinics. Then a wider – but still limited – rollout will occur in July, followed by the systemwide go-live taking place in August.

Watch for more communications as we get closer to go-live.

NOTE: If you’re part of the pilot community for Phases 1 or 2, more information can be found on the ShareIT site on the Ballad Health intranet here. You can also access it by going to the intranet home page > Departments > Epic Hyperdrive. There, you can find tip sheets and video tutorials, FAQs and more.
