Technology Updates
An overview of our Health Information Technology transformation.
Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive Migration
Our Health Information Technology (HIT) team continues to migrate Northern market-related Microsoft Team(s), SharePoint, and OneDrive(s). This migration will allow team members to continue to communicate, share files and collaborate past the transition without disruption.
Note: Only shared resources that are specific to Haymarket/Prince William have been migrated. Please reference this list with Microsoft Teams and SharePoint sites that will or will not be migrated.
About Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Migration
- All SharePoint site(s), Team(s) located in your Novant Health account have been migrated to your UVA Health account.
- Chats within a Team Channel(s) have been migrated.
- Individual chats amongst individual team members have not been migrated.
- Novant corporate Teams (e.g., NH Pharmacy Dashboards and People Analytics) have not been migrated.
- * If you use OneDrive, your OneDrive content has been migrated and access to your Novant OneDrive has been removed. You should have received a notification prior to migration and once migration completed. *
After Migration:
- You will receive notice that you have been added to the new UVA Health Teams and/or SharePoint.
-
Access to your Novant Health version of Microsoft Teams and/or SharePoint will be removed.
To learn more, please visit this webpage for HIT related resources, FAQs, and knowledge-based articles. For questions or concerns, please contact UVACommunityHealthIntegration@uvahealth.org.
Email, Home Drive, and Shared Drive Migration are Complete!
Email, home drive, and shared drives have migrated from Novant Health to your UVA Health account. At this time, you will use these as your primary method of email, calendar management, document management, and more.
New emails sent to your Novant Health mailbox will be auto forwarded to your @uvahealth.org mailbox and will not be made available in your Novant mailbox. You will still have read-only access to your Novant Health account. We will notify you before access to your Novant Health account is terminated.
All documents previously stored in your Novant Health home drive (H:) will be read-only. You will not have access to your Novant Health shared drive (I:) moving forward. Check out the Home Drive Transition Tips on the UVACH Intranet for information on accessing your home and shared drive.
If you are not at a UVA Health facility or connected to a UVA Health network, you must be connected to Big IP (VPN) to connect to your Home Drive (F:).
Accessing Email on Your Mobile Device Clarification (for exempt/salaried team members only)
- You cannot have more than 1 Mobile Iron/MDM application installed on your phone prior to following the Mobile Iron instructions for UVA Health.
- You cannot have Microsoft Authenticator downloaded to your mobile device prior to following the Mobile Iron instructions for UVA Health.
- You cannot have alternative VPN applications installed on your device. This includes Nord VPN, Norton VPN, Secure VPN, etc. The mobile device operating system only allows for a single VPN to be active at any given time. If Norton or any other VPN already be active, the MobileIron Tunnel application cannot initiate and therefore access to email and other UVA Health apps fails. The recommended action is to uninstall the any of the conflicting applications.
Check out our iOS MobileIron registration instructions for more information on accessing email on your mobile device.
Badges are finally here!
The first round of badges at Northern Market are for team members who clock in and out. All other team members will receive their badges in the coming weeks.
All Culpeper team members will receive a new badge in this first wave.
About the new badges:
- New UVA Health badges provide access to the new Kronos timekeeping system as well as barcode scanning for Glucometer and Agility. We are providing these badges in advance of the Kronos go-live.
- These badges do not provide access to anything else at this time.
- Team members MUST keep their old Novant Health badge for access to facilities and timekeeping until further notice.
- Badge buddies are attached to the badges based on the team member’s position
- As a reminder, your UVA Health badge should be facing outward as your primary source of identification upon receipt.
For more information, review our FAQs.

Northern Market: Michael Prailey or Traci Fuchs
Culpeper: Michael Bednar
Access Management Platform Process
The Access Management Platform (AMP) process is an automated process that provides role-based access to many UVA Health applications. Managers and supervisors play a critical role in requesting and authorizing access to UVA Health applications.
To clarify when to submit an AMP access request between now and Nov. 1, please see below. team members, you do not need to place an AMP request for the list of applications here.
For applications in the attached list:
No action required by you: These will be automatically provisioned to team members as the application owner has or will be submitting the user list to UVA Health HIT Security.
For meeting schedulers/ owners: if you do not already have WebEx provisioned to your account, you need to request access to WebEx via AMP (Access Request tip sheet here).
If you are only an attendee and not a meeting manager, you do NOT need to request WebEx in AMP. You will be able to access WebEx as an attendee without an account.
Video Conferencing? Use WebEx!
Beginning this month, we will use WebEx instead of Zoom as our platform for video conferencing/virtual meetings across UVA Community Health.
For meeting attendees, you do not need a WebEx account to attend a WebEx virtual meeting. The first time you join a WebEx meeting, WebEx will automatically download the app if it is not already preloaded to your computer. If prompted, click the installer file to install the app and follow the instructions.
How to join a WebEx meeting as an attendee:
- Open your email invite and click ‘join meeting’ or click the meeting link.
- Enter your name as you want it to appear in the meeting, check 'remember me," and then click 'sign in.' You can also select ‘join as guest’ to quickly join a meeting.
- Enter your email address, then click 'next.'
- If prompted, enter the meeting password that's in your email invitation, then click 'continue.'
- In the preview window, make sure your audio and video are working.
- Click 'join meeting.'
For meeting schedulers/owners
- Check out our attached Zoom to WebEx Transition Tips for information on scheduling meetings.
- If you are responsible for planning events such as monthly Town Halls, view the WebEx Advanced tips and tricks on running an event through WebEx.
- If you do not have WebEx account access to schedule a meeting, please submit a request via AMP.
For additional details on WebEx features, visit the Epic Learning Library.

How to Access your UVA Health Email
Email migration occurred as part of the Big Switch.

Click here for steps to access your UVA Health email depending on the computer or laptop you have.
The Big Switch!
The “Big Switch” is the transition from key Novant Health accounts and IT infrastructure to the UVA Health version. This switch includes switching from:
• Novant Health account to UVA Health account
• Novant Health WiFi to UVA Health WiFi
• Novant Health wired network to UVA Health wired network
• Novant Health email to UVA Health email
• Zoom virtual meetings to WebEx virtual meetings
• Home Drive (H:) to Home Drive (F:)
• Shared Drive (I:) to Shared Drive (Z:)
• Novant Health ID Badges to UVA Health ID Badges
You can view key dates for the Big Switch here or see the attached flyer. Answers to some of your Frequently Asked Questions for the Big Switch can be found here.
New IT Security Initiatives |
|
As part of ongoing integration activities, UVA Community Health (UVACH) is modifying many of its practices and policies to information security and privacy to align with those in place at UVA Health. One upcoming change is the introduction of an IT Risk Assessment requirement for all agreements and agreement renewals that may impact UVA Health’s information security posture. These include agreements in which a third party is granted access to UVA CH’s data and systems. Completion of the IT Risk Assessment prior to agreement finalization will be required for agreement owners across UVA Health and will enable a consistent practice for IT security. We have also received the support of the UVA Health IT security team as a part of the integration to help enforce our IT security practices. For questions about any of our new IT security initiatives, please contact the IT security risk team at UVAHealth-IT-RA@uvahealth.org. |
