Cost of manual data entry

Thinking through the decision
• Sensitive, critical patient data will be moved – for a training exercise?
• Do temporary workers need this training?• Typical volumes exceed tens of thousands of
records• Doesn’t your staff have more productive
things to do?

True story
“Wake Forest Baptist cited $8 million in “other Epic-related
implementation expense” that it listed among “business-cycle
disruptions (that) have had a greater-than-anticipated impact on
volumes and productivity.” Also listed was $26.6 million in lost margin
“due to interim volume disruptions during initial go-live and post go-
live optimization.”
