The AI Go-Live Command Center

At 7 a.m. on day one, every call is answered instantly. Every issue is resolved, ticketed, or handed to a human. A one-time, time-boxed engagement on your next go-live.

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.*
  • Surge headcount. Go-live support is staffed for the worst hour of the worst day, and paid for all week.
  • 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.

What your command center gets

  • How-to answers on the spot

    “How do I release these orders?” is answered from your approved tip sheets and training materials.

  • Known-issue matching

    Checks every problem against your live known-issues list and gives the approved workaround immediately.

  • Guided diagnosis

    Asks what a Tier 1 analyst would: application, workflow, error message, and what the user already tried.

  • Automatic, complete tickets

    User, department, location, workstation, module, severity and steps tried, routed to the right Tier 2 queue.

  • Warm transfer to a human

    Live analysts receive the ticket context first, so the caller never repeats themselves.

  • At-the-elbow dispatch

    When hands-on help is needed, the nearest ATE is alerted by SMS and email with full context.

  • Immediate escalation

    Sev 1 and patient-safety issues bypass the AI entirely and route directly to a person.

  • Ticket status, self-serve

    “What's happening with my ticket?” is answered by phone or chat without waiting on the help desk.

  • Real-time pattern detection

    Flags the same issue surfacing across units and alerts command center leads as it happens.

  • Tip sheet and broadcast drafting

    Drafts tip sheets and floor-wide updates for recurring issues. Your leads approve before release.

Your leaders see a problem spreading across units in real time, not at the 4 p.m. huddle.

A one-time, time-boxed engagement

Run alongside your existing command center team, not in place of it. Measured from the first call.

  1. Prepare

    We load your approved tip sheets, training materials and known-issues list, and map your Tier 2 queues and at-the-elbow roster.

  2. Go live

    From the first call on day one, every contact is answered instantly and ends resolved, ticketed, or with a person.

  3. Lead in real time

    Command center leads get pattern alerts as issues spread, and drafted tip sheets and broadcasts to approve.

  4. Read the scorecard

    When the time box closes, you get a scorecard built from your own data and a clear choice about what comes next.

Your scorecard, your data

You judge the engagement on numbers you can check, not on how the week felt.

The engagement fee is credited toward Year 1 if you move to an annual plan.

Put it on your next go-live

  • Average speed to answer
  • Abandoned-call rate
  • Percent resolved without a ticket
  • Time from issue to ticket
  • Re-contact rate
  • Time to detect a pattern
  • User satisfaction

After go-live, keep it running

By the end of go-live, your users already know the number to call and your knowledge is already loaded. The same command center can run your steady-state Epic help desk on an annual plan.

Questions buyers ask

Does it replace our command center team?

No. The engagement runs alongside your existing team, not in place of it. The AI absorbs the repetitive Tier 1 volume so your analysts and super users stay on the floor and on the hard problems.

What happens with patient-safety issues?

Sev 1 and patient-safety issues bypass the AI entirely and route directly to a person.

Where do the answers come from?

From your approved tip sheets, training materials and live known-issues list. Your leads approve every tip sheet and broadcast before release.

How do users reach it?

By the Tier 1 phone line, or by Teams or web chat, where they can type or send screenshots. Coverage is 24/7.

How is the engagement measured?

On a scorecard built from your own data: speed to answer, abandoned calls, percent resolved without a ticket, time from issue to ticket, re-contact rate, time to detect a pattern, and user satisfaction.

What does it cost?

It is a one-time, time-boxed engagement. The fee is credited toward Year 1 if you move to an annual plan. We walk through pricing in the demo.
