Epic Go-Live Planning: 4 Steps for Successful At-the-Elbow Support
The Challenge
A new Children's Hospital was needed in a community where the only local option for pediatric patients was a nearby acute facility primarily for adult clinical care. This project called for adding the pediatric facility onto the acute hospital's Epic solution which involved establishing workflows for pediatric clinical protocols, hardware readiness and set-up, patient movement, and charging between the children’s and adult facilities.
CereCore assisted with converting the ambulatory and outpatient facilities to Epic a few years prior to the new Children’s Hospital initiative and could rely on our methodologies and documentation for planning. Therefore, the main challenges of the work were focused on clinical workflow re-design and ancillary services integration for the pediatric hospital.
The Children’s Hospital wanted to begin using Epic following an expedited implementation of approximately eight months from the kickoff date. The challenge was to bring the pediatric facility live on Epic for opening day. With the public excitement and media coverage of the new facility opening, all eyes were on the project to be successful.
How We Helped
Assembling the Right Team for the Job
A CereCore Project Manager and Director highly specialized in Epic implementations were pivotal to this success story.
CereCore analysts with skills directly applicable to this implementation understood the necessary workflow changes.
CereCore partnered with project managers at the facility to ensure timelines, milestones, and deliverables were coordinated with construction timelines.
Project Highlights
The Solution
When the facility opened its doors to the children and families in the community, the Epic system was built out, tested, and ready to help providers and hospital staff provide excellent care to their patients. Better yet, the project was delivered without any critical issues at go-live and was under budget.
