This year’s Epic User Group Meeting (UGM) was packed with announcements, as Epic Systems continues to position itself as the enterprise platform, artificial intelligence (AI) engine, and healthcare data center of the future. From the unveiling of Epic CoMET to healthcare-focused enterprise resource planning (ERP) capabilities in EpicOps, here’s a recap of Epic’s latest developments—including […]
Running a healthcare system with 56 hospitals, 288 clinics, and 2 million patients across 320,000 square miles is no small feat. For Sanford Health, the largest rural health system in the U.S., managing data was like herding cats—90 different electronic health records (EHRs), an overloaded SAP HANA database, and a team stretched thin trying to […]
Let’s face it—healthcare technology is crowded with bold ideas and ‘game-changer’ solutions, but the real challenge is separating tomorrow’s buzz from today’s business value. One of these solutions is the new Epic Teamwork module, which is making waves in scheduling as part of Epic’s broader strategy of developing a natively-integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite. […]
Healthcare organizations are drowning in documentation. Physicians spend nearly two hours on administrative tasks for every hour of patient care, while IT teams struggle with critical staffing shortages, high levels of turnover, and increased demand to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that actually reduce complexity rather than add to it. With healthcare organizations facing mounting […]
Implementing a new electronic health record (EHR) system impacts every corner of a healthcare organization. While technical execution is critical, long-term success ultimately depends on how effectively clinical teams adopt and integrate the system into daily patient care. Without early communication, guidance, and training for providers, the implementation process can quickly become challenging—which is why […]
It’s no secret that disconnected systems slow everything down. From patient care to payroll, integration challenges aren’t rare tech issues—they’re everyday problems that can impact productivity, revenue, and even patient outcomes. That’s why healthcare organizations are increasingly turning to integration platforms like Boomi to create a digital ecosystem where data flows seamlessly between clinical, business, […]
If you’ve ever merged two healthcare organizations while implementing Epic, you already know that the biggest challenges aren’t technical—they're clinical, cultural, and operational. Reconciling how two organizations document care, capture charges, and coordinate workflows is a monumental task, and a successful rollout requires far more than a project plan. From combining clinical workflows to navigating […]
Healthcare organizations rely on many complex systems, including Workday—a popular enterprise resource planning (ERP) system—and UKG Pro Workforce Management (WFM), to manage their operations, personnel, and finances. At many hospitals, Workday serves as a central command center, coordinating everything from medical supply inventory to billing cycles, while UKG Pro WFM helps solve the challenges associated […]
Epic is one of the most widely used EHRs on the market, with Epic holding medical records for 325 million patients worldwide. However, transitioning to a new EHR is one of the most complex and high-stakes projects in healthcare, and poorly planned Epic conversions can lead to expensive delays, workflow inefficiencies, and clinician dissatisfaction—which can […]
Healthcare financial leaders face constant pressure to modernize their operations while maintaining accuracy and compliance. With complex revenue cycles, multiple payment models, and ever-changing regulations, it’s a difficult task that leaves many hospitals and health systems struggling to efficiently manage their financial data—especially when relying on disconnected, manual operations. Workday’s Accounting Center offers a solution […]
The rapid evolution of healthcare IT is reshaping the way hospitals and health systems operate. From advances in technology to talent shortages, healthcare leaders are navigating a landscape where IT isn’t just a support function—it’s a fundamental force driving patient care, operational efficiency, and financial sustainability. However, with innovation comes complexity, and many organizations are […]
There’s plenty of excitement around how AI might influence the future of healthcare, but Oracle Health’s newly announced Electronic Health Record (EHR) features some impressive AI functionalities that bring this vision to life. “This isn't a refurbished Cerner EHR,” explains Seema Verma, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Oracle Health and Life Sciences. “It's […]
