Resources for Super Users and Area Trainers on Launch 8 Support Issues

To access support information on common issues arising post-launch, there are two easy options:

Get MS Teams, join "Launch 8 Support"

  • For Connect Care Launch 8, the CMIO will be using Microsoft Teams as a platform to support communication among Trainers, Super Users, resident Super Users, and CMIO staff. A comprehensive "Launch 8 Support Team" has been created and has been populated with Channels for each specialty training track.
  • To use MS Teams for launch support, navigate to Launch 8 Support - MS Teams
    • Once there, you can post a question, say hello, or respond to an existing discussion.
    • For mobile access, download the MS Teams app from your app store. 
      • Tip: Those using personal computers/laptops (including MacOS) will find the MS Teams web app is the preferred option, as the desktop application may not work. It is easiest to access the web app through teams.microsoft.com, or through AHS Outlook (use the Teams Call button on the top task bar, decline when it asks you to open Microsoft Teams, and select the “Continue on this Browser” option).
    • Note: Access to AHS Teams, like Outlook and the suite of Office 365 apps, requires two-factor authentication using the MS Authenticator app. More information can be found at: Multi-Factor Authentication User Guide.
