Are You Ready for a Refuel?

Transforming Your Epic EHR Experience

Congratulations: your organization has seamlessly integrated Epic's EHR into your daily operations! Using Epic has become second nature to your staff, deeply ingrained in your culture, and woven into your everyday operations. 

But just as you wouldn’t buy a car and drive it year after year without performing routine maintenance, there comes a time when your Epic installation could use a tune-up. Epic calls this process a “refuel.”

As with any other significant initiative, it’s easy to put off an Epic refuel. But the potential improvements in user experience and patient care will far outweigh the possible disruption and effort. Talent Groups is here to help make your Epic refuel a positive experience and a worthwhile investment.

What Is an Epic Refuel?

Why Refuel?

By reverting the health system's Epic EHR instance back to its foundation model, a healthcare organization can reduce user pain points and enhance system usability.

Healthcare organizations like yours typically consider a refuel to:

• enhance user satisfaction
• streamline workflows
• improve patient care quality
• maximize their investment in Epic's EHR system

Among the factors your organization should take into account when considering an Epic refuel are:

• size of your organization
• your budget
• strategic goals for the refuel
• existing shortfalls in EHR usability and efficiency
  

The Challenges of Refueling

As with any upgrade of such an integral part of operations, there will inevitably be challenges to prepare for when you perform an Epic refuel. Talent Groups will partner with you to define and ease these potential obstacles and help you navigate them throughout the process. 

Challenges may include:

• complexity of the implementation
• need for customization and optimization
• cost and resources required
• workflow disruption
• potential for staff resistance to change
• need for additional training
