Epic EHR on Azure

Healthcare providers with a cloud adoption strategy, who have all system environments of their Epic EHR deployed and hosted in an on-prem data center are an ideal fit for this solution.

Offering services: migrate Epic EHR and other apps’ production and/or DR workloads to Azure.
Three components comprise the offering:

• Advisory – discovery and planning phase + app portfolio assessment
• Migration – multi-disciplinary team of healthcare and cloud professionals
• Managed Services – optional application-level support + cloud run and maintain, incident response, etc.

Discovery – Epic migration planning, we assess and rationalize the entire applications portfolio:

• Healthcare provider advisory services and Cloud advisory services
• Undertake a full applications portfolio assessment and rationalization
• Identify candidates for apps migration to the cloud: “lift-and-shift” or modernize and migrate
• Develop a business case and roadmap for all recommended migrations
• Identify additional IT transformation opportunities for enhancement of the migration impact including; cloud and data center consolidation, network and security compliance, ransomware readiness, and others

Implementation – perform migrations

• Retire, Replace, Rehost, Re-platform, Rearchitect, and Refactor – lift-and-shift or modernize
• Establish landing zones for migration
• Staged migration, testing, and push to production (and/or any other environments such as Disaster Recovery)

Managed Services – ongoing run-and-maintain

• Clinical help desk support
• Cloud and security monitoring, incident response, and other

NTT DATA provides you with all required services:

• Planning
• Deployment
• Ongoing managed services – for the migration of an on-prem version of Epic EHR to Azure

But why?

• Post-pandemic and economic driven financial and staffing stresses
• Scarcity of skilled IT talent and increased cost reduction pressures
• Stakeholder expectations of HCIT to enable much needed innovation have only increased
