WHITEPAPER
GOVERNANCE: Whats the Big Deal?
The launch of a new electronic medical record system was a significant project for Valley Children’s Healthcare, and a pandemic, the first in more than 100 years, was also significant... the odds of major glitches in our Epic launch seemed high. The ability of Optimum to collaborate entirely virtual, providing at-the-elbow remote support to physicians, clinical and non-clinical staff, and to execute on that vision is a credit to their team and the team at Valley Children’s.
After an extensive RFP process, it was clear to our selection committee that the experience and expertise that Optimum would bring to the project best aligned with our culture and approach which clearly identified them as the partner that we wanted to help us successfully implement Epic. We see Optimum Healthcare IT as a partner who is committed to helping us meet our goals and focused on our success.
I have been involved in many go-lives over the years, but this one ran smoothly as any that I have seen. The remote training and go-live model allowed us to stay focused on the COVID-19 pandemic while Optimum ensured our go-live support ran uninterrupted.
We needed a partner that had depth & breadth in the Epic implementation space and selected Optimum... They brought hundreds of resources to bear and were flexible in terms of meeting unanticipated needs as they became known across the health system... They were clear on what they would deliver and executed on those deliverables in all respects.
We found a partner in Optimum Healthcare IT that we could trust to guide us in our decisions and be able to take full advantage of lessons learned and experiences gained through prior training and go-live projects.
Deaconess Health System chose Optimum Healthcare IT as our CareConnect go-live partner because of their history of delivering quality resources and successful projects. Optimum’s Skillmarket tool and their absolute ability to provide quality support, dispatch and monitor resources in a highly effective manner highlight why we’ll continue to partner with them for future needs.
Our partnership started with Optimum right at the beginning of our Epic implementation several years ago now, and they have not disappointed since. The Optimum team and attention to service have elevated what I now expect from an advisory, systems optimization, and managed service partner.
Optimum brought a very detailed level of experience to the Epic training program at Greenville Health System. They truly cared about the success of our training program and our go-live.
