Fast Epic EHR and Oracle ERP Deployments at SBH Health System

Healthcare IT Today Interviews

This video interviews leaders from a health information technology services firm, HCTec, and a front-line safety-net health care system, St. Barnabas Hospital in the South Bronx, New York City. In this extensive discussion, these leaders explain the elements of a successful partnership that implemented a new EHR, ERP system, and patient portal in about nine months. Michelle Moran, Chief Growth Officer at HCTec, explains that they have a wide range of expertise to aid with everything from onboarding digital systems to staff augmentation: "The right people in the right place," she says. Their long experience with systems such as Epic helps an organization that's new to the product, such as St. Barnabas, get the system working quickly and overcome unexpected problems. Jitendra Barmecha, MD, Senior VP and Chief Information and Digital Strategy Officer at St. Barnabas (SBH Health System), says they decided to overhaul their infrastructure 18 months ago. They started by installing an Oracle ERP system, then an Epic EHR along with the Epic portal, MyChart.
