Providers are able to access Epic and other mobile apps (including Haiku, Canto and M*Modal) and electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) on their mobile devices.

Review this page to learn what this means and what you need to do.

How to Access Epic and Other Clinical Apps

To use Epic mobile apps, download and configure the Microsoft Intune mobile device management (MDM) app on your Apple or Android device by following the instructions below.

We recommend allowing 10 to 15 minutes for the initial setup, plus time for the apps to load.

  • Step 1: Enroll in Your Mobile Device in Microsoft Intune

    For Epic applications to function correctly on your device, you need to download and set up Intune. Follow these steps below to do this.

    1. Go to your device’s app store.
      • Search for “Intune Company Portal.”
      • Download the app.
    2. Open the app Intune Company Portal.
      • If your Seattle Children’s account is listed, select it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I access Epic and clinical apps on my mobile device?

    Download and install Microsoft Intune Company Portal from the Apple or Google Play store and sign in with your Seattle Children’s account. You can do this from anywhere (home, work, etc.).

  • Can’t I just download the Haiku and Canto apps instead?

    Yes, you can download the Haiku and Canto apps, but they won’t have the necessary configuration for Seattle Children’s until you download and set up Intune.

    back to top
  • What if I already installed Haiku or Canto on my device?

    That’s fine. For iOS, enrollment in Intune will incorporate the Seattle Children’s configuration into your existing app(s). For Android, you will have a second copy of Haiku installed; please ensure you use the version within the Android Work Profile for access to Seattle Children’s.

    back to top
  • What does this installation do to my device and what can Seattle Children’s see?

    Seattle Children’s can only see information about your phone and the apps installed, such as the device model, serial number, and version. Seattle Children’s can’t see or access any of your personal information, such as browsing history and photos or personal emails, text messages and files. As you set up Intune you’ll see specific lists of what Seattle Children’s can or can’t see. Your device may also inform you that Intune allows an administrator certain access. If your device is lost or stolen, Seattle Children’s will reset it to factory settings.
