Epic Advisory Services
Epic done right—start to finish.
Epic succeeds when someone keeps the client, the SI, and the program aligned. We provide that discipline—ensuring decisions throughout the project are aligned to clinical needs, operational realities, and long-term organizational goals.
Epic projects lose momentum when alignment slips—between clinicians, operations, revenue cycle, IT, and the SI driving the build. We close that gap. We bring leadership, structure, and clarity that keep your Epic program moving with purpose from day one.
Every organization has blind spots—not because teams lack ability, but because complex systems exceed any single viewpoint. Experience and pattern recognition are what help surface gaps early, before small misalignments turn into real risk.
We understand how quickly small decisions can ripple into clinical friction or operational risk. Our approach keeps your organization in control, your SI aligned, and your teams confident in where the program is headed.
And when additional capacity is needed, our strategic resourcing model provides experienced Epic professionals who reinforce delivery, maintain continuity, and help stabilize the program during critical phases.
Whether you’re gearing up for a major implementation or trying to unlock more value from the EHR you already have, we help Epic strengthen your organization instead of straining it.
Pre-Implementation
Structured RFI/RFP leadership, vendor and SI evaluations, and readiness planning that give you clarity before the build begins—so your Epic program launches with the right scope, partner, and decision framework.
Pre-Implementation
Epic success starts well before build. The choices made in the early stages—scope, partner, workflows, readiness—shape everything that follows. We help leadership make those decisions with confidence and a clear path forward.
Key Activities
- Lead business-aligned RFI/RFP processes
- Coordinate vendor demos and SI evaluations
- Support partner selection and contracting
- Prepare the organization: data cleansing, workflow documentation, governance, change management
- Define program structures and decision-making pathways
Program Assurance
Independent oversight that keeps both the client and SI aligned on design decisions, ensuring the build is fit-for-purpose and grounded in clinical, operational, and financial priorities.
Program Assurance
Epic implementations move fast and hit every corner of the health system. Without strong oversight, misalignment shows up as clinician frustration, operational inefficiency, or revenue-cycle leakage. We provide independent leadership that keeps design choices grounded in clinical reality and operational viability.
Key Activities
- Establish governance and decision frameworks
- Manage risks, issues, and cross-team coordination
- Evaluate design, configuration, and workflow decisions
- Keep the SI aligned to business, clinical, and regulatory priorities
- Address risks early to avoid costly rework and downtime
Go-Live Readiness & Operate
Preparation for the long-term support model that begins the day the SI walks out the door—ensuring clinical teams, revenue cycle operations, and support structures are ready for sustained success.
