Make sure you focus on data migration. Big EHR companies like Epic are known for only hiring those already with Epic experience, rather than people who know what the hell they’re doing. Right after an Epic conversion, my civilian primary then asked if I had an insurance I hadn’t had in 15 years. The office manager’s response was that they just converted to Epic. As a Healthcare IT BA for 2 decades, including huge data migrations and EHR implementation, but never Epic, I’m warning you not to go down that route. Spend the money on data migration testing. It’s well worth it. My current project had a bad data migration with a new system in 2016 and end users are still feeling the pain a decade later. You’ve been warned.
