<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A question asked by one of our ENT physicians led to conversations with legal, compliance, and HIM which ultimately determined that this requirement did not provide additional value on top of the audit trail
already stored in the Epic database. With the hundreds of thousands of these encounters occurring annually, the Epic team is thrilled to eliminate many millions of keystrokes and clicks from your work each year. Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
