EPIC Management: The technology that's giving doctors more time with their patients

As well as providing a wide range of administrative services to healthcare provider clinics in Southern California, EPIC Management's implementation of new technology is saving doctors valuable time so they can spend it with their patients.

It provides a range of administrative and support services including contracting, finance, clinical and operations support and staffing, business development, information services, human resources, marketing, claims, billing, supply chain, and facilities management to 27 clinical sites across the Inland Empire region of southern California.

EPIC Management provides services for a wide range of small to large physician practice groups and IPA’s. In total, EPIC's clients include over 300 physicians and 1,300 employees.

Since it was founded in 1995, EPIC has attained a market leading track record of developing and managing high quality healthcare services for their clients. Its services make it possible for doctors to focus on their patients while benefiting from the company's administrative and operating strength.

Time-saving tech

One initiative that's proven extremely beneficial has been the implementation of automated scanners for supply replenishment, a system that enables the barcoded inventory storeroom to be easily categorized and managed. Using the Opticon Scanner system in conjunction with the McKesson Medical Surgical online supply manager platform, replenishing and ordering of supplies is now truly automated. At no cost under a Medical Distribution agreement, the Scanner and Barcode system interfaces directly with the Online requisition software platform. Before this was introduced, to re-stock medical supplies in storerooms, nurses and clinicians had to place orders using paper.
