What is Epic Implementation?
Epic implementation outlines the strategic steps required to seamlessly integrate the Epic EHR system into your organization. Here are the core phases that pave the way for a successful and optimized system:

By meticulously analyzing your day-to-day operations, InTegrum works with you to identify areas for improvement and tailor the Epic implementation to align seamlessly with your vision.
Analysis: In this collaborative phase, employees from all levels – managers, executives, and staff – work together to define the project’s requirements. This includes outlining the scope of the project, pinpointing specific departments that will benefit from the Epic system, and creating a roadmap of critical workflows that will be streamlined. Additionally, InTegrum helps you identify the necessary personnel, tools, and resources to ensure a successful implementation.
