Computer Access

Once you have reviewed the Basic Computer Module and received your ProMedica ID badge, you are ready to access the ProMedica network and complete your EMR training.

You will need to know both your School ID number and your ProMedica ID number for computer access:

  • You will use the last four digits of you school ID number during your initial access to our computer systems as well as any time you need to reset a password.
  • You will need your ProMedica ID number every time you log into a computer.
  • Follow the steps within the Basic Computer Modules to log in and establish your initial password for ProMedica.
  • Computer access for students is limited to the educational scope of your learning.
  • Please remember the importance of maintaining complete confidentiality in the use of our software. Schools, hospitals and the US Government all have penalties for breach of confidentiality. Your signed attestation is a statement that you understand these responsibilities.

EPIC training for nursing students:

  • Nursing students will complete online modules for general information and will receive ongoing support and guidance from their instructor. Modules must be completed before EPIC security access will be granted. EPIC modules only need to be completed one time.
  • First time to a ProMedica facility?
    • Complete the Epic ClinDoc Student Nurse 100 eLearning module here.
      Click "OK" or "Cancel" to dismiss the popup windows and view the presentation.
      • Please note: the students must have a ProMedica ID number to be able to log into myProMedica and access these modules.
    • EPIC Access can take up to 48 (business) hours after module completion and will NOT be active the same day the modules are completed.
  • Subsequent time to ProMedica?
    • Use same log-in User ID and Password. Don't forget, you may need to call the IT service desk for password reset if you have been absent from ProMedica for a period of time.

Troubleshooting Computer Access Issues:

EPIC Training Module Issues:

  • Assure all pop-up blockers have been disabled
  • Assure ProMedica.org is an "allowed" site in the security settings.
  • Sometimes a change in computer or location is required due to firewall settings.
  • For a very few who still cannot play the module, we will gladly help them get the module completed at a ProMedica computer, so please contact the Center of Nursing Excellence or the Staff Development team at the closest ProMedica hospital.
  • If the module will not "submit" at the end, the Center of Nursing Excellence will accept a screen shot of the last slide. Send to nursing.student@promedica.org.

EPIC Access Issue:

  • Did you complete the EPIC education modules required?
  • Did you hit the submit option once you completed the module?
  • Please allow at least 48 (business) hours for activation to occur once we have proof of completion of education.

If you need your password reset or other non-EPIC issues:

  • Please start by calling the IT Service Desk.
  • This is the direct dial number for the Service Desk for all facilities - 419-291-3646.
  • If the helpdesk is unable to assist you please call 419-291-0351 Monday – Friday 8am – 4:30pm or email nursing.student@promedica.org
  • Whenever calling or emailing for help, be sure to give details about what is happening and what you have already attempted to fix it. Please leave a direct contact number to reach you. Do NOT leave the clinical unit number as the call back will probably be after you have left that setting.
  • Please do not place multiple calls to different individuals, as this actually slows down the process.
