Workflow Discovery Week Has Started!

GBMC’s workflow discovery week started off with a bang!  Thirty-two Epic partners from Verona, Wisconsin joined us for an exciting kickoff meeting that set the tone for this week’s events!  Epic definitely draws a crowd!

The Epic kickoff meeting was more than well-attended, with standing room only... Okay, it actually overflowed to the conference room lobby, which led to us removing the dividing wall, opening the meeting up to conference rooms A, B, and C! The desire to participate has far exceeded our expectations! Let's keep the momentum up! Check out some of the brain power and collaboration that took place!

Don't worry if you didn't get a chance to review your workflow yet – our Epic partners will be back out in two weeks for a few more!

And the Epic Adventure Begins!

Drum roll, please! GBMC is excited to introduce a blog focused solely on the Epic project! In this weekly blog, we will highlight upcoming events, project updates and exciting information as the project evolves! We also want to hear from you, so please take the opportunity to leave comments each week to let us know what you’re excited about, concerned about or even have ideas about regarding the project!

Next week’s adventure will begin with the arrival of approximately 32 members of the Epic team from Verona, Wisconsin, who will be partnering with GBMC’s internal project build team. We will kick the week off on Tuesday, March 24 and complete workflow discovery sessions by Thursday afternoon. During the discovery sessions, we will work together with area Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to discover and define area-specific workflows that will assist with the overall system design, and introduce our Epic partners to GBMC. The goal is to implement best practices wherever possible and to help us continue to achieve our quadruple aim: better health and better care at a lower cost with more joy for those providing the care!
