Healthcare Branch - Big Bang & Beyond: Nuggets of wisdom from the Project Manager’s Experience during an Epic Implementation

Business Acumen

Synopsis:

Project managers from the implementation team in the Epic Program will share the benefits from their experience in one of the largest clinical transformation projects at SickKids.

In June of 2018, SickKids went live with the big bang implementation of a new Epic information system. The system fundamentally changed the way SickKids now provides care, helping the hospital significantly improve efficiencies, enhance patient safety and access to patient information, while creating a more seamless care experience for children and their families.
