Steps taken to minimize revenue impact ▪ Revenue cycle ownership and governance ▪ Set expectations with department heads and leadership ▪ ARCR leads identified and leveraged ▪ Identified Key KPI’s to monitor pre go-live Compute accurate baselines prior to go-live ▪ Testing ▪ Revenue cycle ownership and governance ▪ Set expectations with department heads and leadership ▪ ARCR leads identified and leveraged ▪ Identified Key KPI’s to monitor pre go-live Compute accurate baselines prior to go-live ▪ Testing

▪ Important to have SMEs and operational owners “on board” with Epic ▪ These are the people that will be key in helping shift focus of current state to new improved future state with Epic ▪ Important to have SMEs and operational owners “on board” with Epic ▪ These are the people that will be key in helping shift focus of current state to new improved future state with Epic Revenue Cycle Lessons Learned 17 Early buy-in from SMEs and operational owners
18
▪ Identify and validate future workflows building off current workflows Build in Epic to maximize efficiencies in current workflows and process ▪ Focus on maximizing efficiencies within Epic and build to future state workflows ▪ Incorporate 3 rd party tools upfront in design and planning workflows ▪ Identify and validate future workflows building off current workflows Build in Epic to maximize efficiencies in current workflows and process ▪ Focus on maximizing efficiencies within Epic and build to future state workflows ▪ Incorporate 3 rd party tools upfront in design and planning workflows Revenue Cycle Lessons Learned 18 Identify and validate future workflows
19
▪ Revenue cycle representation needs to be included in decisions made at on the clinical side ▪ This ensures charges are captured and revenue is not impacted negatively at go- live ▪ Testing begins right away with unit testing of workflows and continues until go-live ▪ Revenue cycle representation needs to be included in decisions made at on the clinical side ▪ This ensures charges are captured and revenue is not impacted negatively at go- live ▪ Testing begins right away with unit testing of workflows and continues until go-live Revenue Cycle Lessons Learned 19 ALL build, testing and communication needs to include representation across ALL modules within Epic
20
▪ Align Epic’s project workplan with organization’s project workplan early and set expectations/targets ▪ Incorporate enough time in the project plan to build, test and validate for the revenue cycle ▪ Users need to not only understand basic functionality within Epic but also to understand how to navigate within Epic so they can do their jobs efficiently and effectively ▪ Align Epic’s project workplan with organization’s project workplan early and set expectations/targets ▪ Incorporate enough time in the project plan to build, test and validate for the revenue cycle ▪ Users need to not only understand basic functionality within Epic but also to understand how to navigate within Epic so they can do their jobs efficiently and effectively Revenue Cycle Lessons Learned 20 Revenue Cycle cannot wait for optimization to get it right
21
▪ Important to begin new revenue cycle with clean slate ▪ Have a plan to support the legacy run down ▪ Important to begin new revenue cycle with clean slate ▪ Have a plan to support the legacy run down Revenue Cycle Lessons Learned 21 Keep AR in legacy system
22
▪ Facility design is an integral part of the Epic’s core build - it touches every module within Epic Revenue Cycle Lessons Learned 22 The facility structure is the most crucial build in your Epic system - once built, cannot be “undone”
23
▪ Again - start the planning and build process in the very early stages in the project and involve both the hospital side and professional side Revenue Cycle Lessons Learned 23 Payor/Plan is the another crucial build in Epic because it is shared between hospital and Ambulatory in Epic
24
Takeaways ▪ Testing ▪ Operations have to own the process ▪ Knowing your current condition (baseline) pre go-live to assess your success post go-live ▪ Outsource or work down legacy A/R prior to go-live ▪ Be ready to be flexible with your workflows (based on how build is interacting with other modules or SME feedback) ▪ Testing ▪ Operations have to own the process ▪ Knowing your current condition (baseline) pre go-live to assess your success post go-live ▪ Outsource or work down legacy A/R prior to go-live ▪ Be ready to be flexible with your workflows (based on how build is interacting with other modules or SME feedback)
