Starters. I maybe lead you to the fourth ring, next to the last on the right, and that 21 systems were consolidated that bring wave one of epic to life. Thats important because thats a really large number of systems. Its also important because it speaks to our readiness in the coming year to decommission those systems, which has been part of our financing plan. So what did we implement . I think you have all sat through several briefings. Across the top row of items is our traditional electronic charting infrastructure, the support systems like lab, pharmacy, radiology, how we handle the revenue cycle, as well as scheduling. The first one on the bottom is Health Information exchange which may not have come to mind. Thats the bidirectional sharing from and to our organizations and others. As a result of epic, we are now part of an Industry Consortium of two or three dozen other organizations that make Electronic Health records. We all agree we are able to share information with one anot
That tool. When you start in a new Information System such as we did on august 3, we didnt go into it with a fully populated database. We did it with a mostly new database. So we prepared how we would begin to use the new data as folks come in our doors after august 3. But we have to go through a validation process in order to ensure what were looking at and that all of the prework we did to produce all of these measures is going to be valid and stand up to our data integrity checklist. We are close. Hoping in the next 30 to 60 days to be completely back on course. It was expected that we would have a delay, and we had a bit of a delay. I want to be up front about that. The nice thing is epic is friendly about us taking the data out. That has been a real struggle with our electronic platforms, and thats not the case with what we have today. Weve talked about benefits realizations before. I mentioned decommissions systems. That work is beginning in earnest at the beginning of the calend
Of the Civil Service roles as you do with the normal the ones that take 253 days. When you do that, that one youve got to get the approvals, post it, then theres an appeal period, then you have an exam, then theres an appeal period and all of that with the exam. You can speed all of that up. To do that we would have to get approval of the d. H. R. And the union. I think they would understand. I would say the other possibility is what is called a Civil Service exemption 12, which is an expert. So we did that with i. T. We now hire some of our i. T. Staff under the Civil Service exemption which is a 12. We hired the project manager in h. R. Hired on average everybody in six weeks using the epic hire using category 12s and category 18s. I would say if you want the speed of hiring for Something Like this, i would go with Civil Service exempt positions, work it out with d. H. R. And the union. The lean process improvement, thats going to take a while. We dont control a lot of whats going to
