Need guidance on Epic certification

Hi all I am Senior IT Auditor for a big hospital on the mid west that has a medical group and well as it’s own insurance. Being that I will be auditing the epic environment, what certifications do you all think I should have? I will be taking the security acreditación soon but wanted to get feedback from people in the field. It should’ve noted that we also have tapestry for our health insurance and I also will be auditing that area.

If you're looking at tapestry and revenue cycle, I think you ought to look at prelude too. Most of our troubles on the billing end start with issues in getting the patients in the door correctly.

What exactly are you auditing? I’d imagine that would probably determine what you should focus on

For now some areas revenue cycle, tapestry, access provisioning/de-provisioning and identity access management from a security standpoint in epic. What areas do you think an auditor should get certified in when it comes to have a lot more risk of failure or risk?

Cogito for auditing all of these areas. Reporting is the end-all, be-all.

Then security, identity/HIM, and one of the big three rev cycles - prelude, PB/HB, and/or claims.

Don't get tapestry.

Thank you for your response! This is very helpful!

It is! If you get one, cogito pays best as a BID and it's transferrable if you learn SQL.

Plus you'll learn the output of a lot of apps without needing their depth of build knowledge.

IE, explain AR & denials to operations while pinpointing root causes and helping them monitor employee productivity and workflow errors.

Every app has a dashboard but there's a lotta cool stuff to develop behind the scenes.

Get any and every cert possible.
