I have over 10 years of experience in implementing Epic systems across various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and integrated delivery networks. My role has involved leading cross-functional teams, managing project timelines, and ensuring seamless integration with existing IT infrastructures. I have successfully overseen multiple large-scale implementations, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and achieving high user adoption rates.

I address challenges by fostering open communication and collaboration among stakeholders. I conduct regular meetings to address concerns, provide training sessions, and gather feedback to make necessary adjustments. When facing resistance, I focus on understanding the root cause and tailor solutions to meet the specific needs of the users, ensuring they feel supported and valued throughout the transition.

To ensure user adoption, I prioritize comprehensive training programs that are tailored to different user roles. I also establish a feedback loop to continuously improve the system based on user input. Additionally, I create a supportive environment where users feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their experiences. By involving users early in the process and addressing their needs, I can achieve high levels of satisfaction and successful system adoption.

I manage integration by first conducting a thorough assessment of the existing IT landscape to identify potential integration points and challenges. I then work closely with IT teams to develop a detailed integration plan, ensuring compatibility and data flow between systems. Regular testing and validation are key components of this process to ensure seamless operations post-implementation.

In a previous role, we encountered a significant delay due to unforeseen technical issues. I immediately convened an emergency meeting with key stakeholders to assess the situation and identify the root cause. We then reallocated resources, adjusted timelines, and implemented a more rigorous testing protocol to catch issues early. By maintaining clear communication and demonstrating flexibility, we were able to mitigate the delay and successfully complete the project within a revised timeframe.
