The go-live problem every health system knows

At 7 a.m. on day one, the phones light up. The hold queue grows, super users get pulled off the floor to answer the same five questions, and tickets arrive half-documented.

Leaders find out a workflow is broken across six units at the 4 p.m. huddle, hours after it started. The whole go-live gets judged by the hold queue.

  • The most expensive tickets of any industry. Healthcare carries the highest cost per help desk ticket, an estimated $20 to $45 per ticket.*
  • People-heavy outsourcing. Health systems are signing multi-year contracts to keep Tier 1 covered, often trading away Epic expertise and control in the process.
  • Your best people, on the phones. Your strongest analysts and super users spend go-live week answering the same how-to questions.

Two front doors. Three outcomes. Nothing dropped.

Every contact ends resolved, ticketed, or with a person.

Why I started FIT Healthcare

I spent nearly 20 years in the Epic world, working my way from analyst to executive director.

I know what a yellow status report feels like from the inside, and I know how rarely the fix is more bodies. It's the right few people, who have done the work before and tell you the truth about your program.

So that's what we sell. Senior people. Honest rates. And owners who answer the phone.

Be Great, Al FisherCEO and Co-Founder, FIT Healthcare
