What is Epic Rover?
Epic Rover is a mobile application interface that allows users to access tools for medication administration, clinical review, and other clinical documentation workflows at the direct point of care.
The Epic Rover application enables authorized clinical users to…
- Ensure positive identification of clinicians, patients, and medication through secure barcoded medication administration (BCMA)
- Seamlessly connect Rover to Epic’s electronic health record (EHR) to improve visibility across the entire patient care lifecycle
- Access, utilize, and manage clinical workflows wherever and whenever from their mobile devices
- Leverage secure access to tools used to optimize patient record documentation, specimen collection, and barcode scanning processes
Who Uses the Epic Rover App?
The Epic Rover mobile app, designed to simplify clinical operations and improve accessibility for Rover authorized clinical users, is available for iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms. To access Rover’s advanced mobile capabilities, organizations must have licensed Rover and use Epic 2014 or any later versions.
Regardless of your role in the organization or the size of your facility, Epic Rover offers customizable functionality to ensure each user has the specific features they need to complete tasks, access important patient data, measure vitals, and validate identification anywhere.
