October 15, 2026, 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm CDT
Elizabeth Johnson, Senior Director, Clinical and Revenue Cycle IT, Michigan Medicine. The consolidation of disparate EHR platforms into a single instance of Epic is one of the most complex challenges a technology leader can face. This executive dialogue brings together CTOs, VPs of Applications, and senior health tech leaders to share strategies for multi-instance migration. Join your peers for an interactive peer exchange on turning complex architectural transformations into sustainable operational success. Designed to mirror the lifecycle of an integration project, the discussion will focus on four core pillars:
- Governance: Structuring leadership councils and aligning guiding principles across merging organizations.
- Change Management: Embedding cultural alignment and change strategies from day one to mitigate resistance.
- Technical Integration: Streamlining third-party applications, data archiving, and resource allocation.
- Project Phasing: Navigating critical milestones, from contract negotiations to go-live readiness.
