How MetroHealth Reclaimed Time for Strategic IT Priorities

The Challenge

MetroHealth faced a common but critical challenge: balancing the need to maintain and support its Epic enterprise system while launching several large, strategic initiatives. With limited internal resources and competing priorities, their Epic team struggled to manage both day-to-day maintenance and new project development. To ensure continuity and progress, MetroHealth sought a solution that would allow internal teams to focus on innovation without compromising system stability.

Our Solution

MetroHealth partnered with Pivot Point Consulting to provide Epic Application Managed Services, focusing on daily maintenance and support across the Epic ecosystem. Pivot Point integrated into MetroHealth’s Applications team to deliver:

  • Incident and Service Request Management
  • Epic Upgrades, including project management, build, testing, and service desk support
  • Special Projects (i.e., scheduling optimization, TEFCA interoperability validation, Epic Logistics Module)
  • MyChart optimization, including real-time balance alerts and Hello World messaging

This model allowed for operational continuity and increased project throughput while controlling costs.

Our Impact

Up to 500 Epic incidents and service requests handled monthly
1,100 Nova Notes addressed per quarterly Epic upgrade
Increased system reliability and faster downtimes for upgrades
Improved alignment of IT resources with organizational priorities
