RoundTable Selected to Support Epic Willow InPatient Upgrade and Optimization Initiatives for Two East Coast Regional Hospitals

RoundTable has been selected to engage Epic Willow Inpatient Analyst Consultants with two East Coast Regional Hospitals to provide support for upgrade and optimization initiatives while enhancing the organizations’ Willow Inpatient application support and maintenance efforts. Utilizing clinical pharmacy operations backgrounds and relevant subject matter expertise, RoundTable’s Willow InPatient Analyst Consultants will guide and execute related Willow InPatient application build, testing, validation and support, applying Best Practices in pharmacy and meds process features, functionality and related impacts.

Both contracts mark continued partnership with RoundTable to engage Epic Certified Analyst Consultant resources to strengthen the clients’ Epic Clinical Applications teams.

“The Pharmacy IS team shoulders a heavy burden,” reminds Lauren Rosenthal, Director of Delivery and Operations. “Whether a hospital is large or small, the number of available medications is usually comparable. Routine support and maintenance is a substantial load even within a stable applications environment. Coupled with upgrade and optimization tasks, work efforts can quickly exceed the bandwidth of the applications team. RoundTable is happy to provide, through our seasoned Consultants, Epic Willow InPatient application expertise attuned to our clients’ specific challenges.”

East Coast Healthcare System Partners with RoundTable for EHR Support

Beginning this month, an East Coast Healthcare System has engaged RoundTable for supplemental project support of their enterprise-wide EHR initiatives for this fiscal year. Two RoundTable Analysts will, respectively, assist in the everyday maintenance of Cerner CORE (Security, Privileges, Locations, etc.) and iBus PulseCheck (Emergency Department module) handling tickets and break-fix issues of LIVE environments. These tasks will be transitioned from our client’s internal EHR Analyst team, providing them the bandwidth to expand their EHR environment to two new sites in the coming year.

This utilization of RoundTable’s Staff Augmentation Model has strategically been chosen by our client allowing their internal analysts to benefit from the new build experience. In the next year this healthcare system will be opening a new Emergency Department and Cancer Center that will ultimately inherit their existing EHR environment. With their internal EHR Analysts’ maintenance tasks offloaded to the RoundTable team, they will have the opportunity to work with end-users and operational stakeholders who are joining the health system for the EHR implementation process prior to GoLive. These design and development interactions will be invaluable to our client’s IS team as those EHR Analysts will ultimately be providing system support to those clinicians for years to come.

“We are thrilled that both RoundTable Analysts have worked with this organization previously in earlier EHR expansion efforts. This historical knowledge of internal processes, end-users and system intricacies will allow for a more seamless transition of responsibilities,” said Casey Hafford, Account Director, RoundTable Strategic Solutions.
