Start Before the Contract Is Signed

Successful Epic transformations begin well before a project formally kicks off. In this discussion, Memorial Hermann VP of Clinical Solutions Oliver Galicki shares how early planning, application rationalization, and executive alignment created the foundation for a successful enterprise deployment.

Based on patterns Oakwolf has observed across large-scale Epic programs, organizations that delay these conversations often pay for it later in governance friction and timeline pressure.

You’ll Learn How To:

• Conduct application inventory and rationalization before contracting
• Build early consensus around systems that will be retired
• Use Foundation as a guiding implementation principle
• Structure internal and external staffing for long-term success

Organizations that invest heavily in pre-implementation planning and executive alignment are better positioned to move quickly, sustain momentum through go-live, and keep pace with the quarterly release cycles of a modern EHR.
