For those implementing the Epic system, concerns can often be addressed by speaking with an Epic certified consultant who has completed in-depth, product specific training. These consultants are equipped to guide all aspects of an Epic implementation, and know the appropriate milestones for each of the phases of the process.
When implementing the Epic system, there are a myriad of questions healthcare organizations can ask their consultant for a better understanding of the overall process, the expected challenges, and how a consultant adds value.

After addressing the key questions and developing an implementation plan, it’s helpful to communicate with an Epic certified consultant during each phase of the project.
By understanding your concerns, the consultant can address outstanding issues, offer appropriate alternatives, and ensure your organization is taking the best course of action. They can provide insights from previous implementation experiences, and apply those learned solutions to the current implementation.
An additional resource provided by the National Learning Consortium is the Implementation Go-Live Planning Checklist. It is a high-level overview of the milestones and key events surrounding the go-live date and could be a reference to help ensure completion of your implementation project plan.
