In an August 7, 2017 press release, the UC San Diego Health announced a massive enterprise migration and consolidation program to move UC Irvine and UCSD's systems to the same Epic instance, supported by the cloud.  UCSD Health serves as the first academic health system to make the migration from self-hosted infrastructure to the Epic cloud hosting environment, and with that came several strategic challenges and system-wide improvements.

 

In this second morning keynote, we visit with top Health IT brass from UCSD's team to walk through the project in detail-- assessing the immediate success stories in addition to the lessons learned.  With a go-live date of November 4 to bring UC Irvine onto UCSD's Epic instance, hear more about how the two organizations approached governance, the merging of two unique data sets, the security improvements experienced through this change, and how this move will position both organizations to move in lockstep with physicians towards a clinically transformed network.
