50 Things Tegria’s Custom Development and Integrations Team Can Do for You
Fact Sheet Apr 21, 2021
While embarking on a complex, multi-phase Epic implementation, the University of Vermont (UVM) Health Network needed to increase user engagement and adoption at new sites, while simultaneously optimizing EHR system use at existing sites. With training staff and resources fully engaged in implementation activities, project leaders wanted to minimize disruption by keeping the active training environment stable and separate, and limiting involvement from busy members of the training and analyst teams.
With just one month until go-live, UVM Health Network partnered with Tegria to design a sustainable demo and training environment strategy and an independent Epic demo environment including end-to-end workflows using clinically robust patient examples. The compact timeline was essential to the project and required an expert team with an advanced, niche skillset that could assess their demo team’s needs, plan end-to-end workflows, and create a custom Epic build quickly and proficiently.
Initial work centered around developing an EHR environment strategy to align the build structure with the needs and workflow of clinical staff. Guided by this strategy, the Tegria team executed the build and configured system settings to the needs of clinicians and staff. To ensure the newly expanded demo team could execute clear, successful, and engaging demos that would increase end-user confidence and readiness, the Tegria team created a complete toolkit to prepare, evaluate, and guide Informatics staff through the process.
