Nordic and Loma Linda University Health

After completing their Epic Community Connect extension to Social Action Community Health System (SACHS) in August 2016, Loma Linda University Health (Loma Linda) engaged Nordic's Managed Services team to provide Tier 2 support across the Epic enterprise suite of applications, enabling continued affiliate expansion while ensuring consistent high quality, cost-effective support for their live affiliates.

Since kicking off in January of 2017, The RUHS/SACHS Managed Services project is off to a great start. In addition to ramping up efficiency as they work through an existing backlog, the team is also developing and implementing process improvements at RUHS/SACHS, including a root cause analysis process, a request fulfillment process, and an onboarding checklist. These early successes have prompted further engagement with Nordic on two small pilot programs as well as possible Managed Services support for future affiliate rollouts.
