The Marquette University College of Nursing has entered into a collaboration with Epic to integrate the company’s new Lyceum platform for electronic health records into the college’s nursing curriculum. Marquette is the first nursing school in the country to do so.
Starting this semester, Marquette Nursing students are using Epic’s Lyceum platform, an educational version of the electronic health record software used in many hospitals. Lyceum provides nursing students with an introduction to a crucial function of their future jobs.
Lyceum comes with training resources designed to help professors integrate Epic into their curriculum. These include sample workflows, resources for identifying the right training patient to use for different scenarios, and classes and support from Epic.
Lyceum is part of a broader push for technological advancement and cutting-edge instructional design in the college, an effort that includes expanded use of immersive virtual reality and a new 100,000-square-foot facility at Straz Hall, opening in 2024, which will feature a larger simulation lab.
