Professional Transitions: From Clinical Operations to Healthcare IT and Why it Works

At the heart of every RoundTable consulting project is the drive to make existing and incoming technologies better support the people and processes of the healthcare organizations that we serve. Whether assessing an EHR upgrade or a Revenue Cycle system conversion, our consultants expect to complete each project leaving end-users and executives greater satisfied with the tools that they use each day. To consistently achieve these outcomes, RoundTable has consciously built consulting teams with healthcare IT professionals that have previous operations experience within the departments they support. During a recent Epic inpatient financial conversion, we engaged a Hospital Billing Analyst Consultant who had been a Business Office Supervisor prior to her Epic consulting career. This ensured healthcare cash operations workflow expertise and allowed her to understand and optimally communicate end-user processes while working on the client’s conversion. We also engaged a Project Manager Consultant who had previously been an OR Business Manager for a Cerner Operating-Room module [...]

Epic Implementation – Plan, Build, Go-Live ….Then What?

How Permanent Resource Placements Yield Greater Budget Savings and Ongoing Support in The Epic Life Cycle For health systems, hospitals, and physician groups, the life cycle of an Epic system can be broken down into two phases: Plan, build and implement in Phase 1, followed by Phase 2 - internal support and optimization.  Unfortunately, as many of our clients have found, once the implementation go-live phase is complete, cost and knowledge retention drastically change due to underestimating the expenses and efforts required when consultants leave.

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you understand that resource transitions can get tricky.  They are [...]
