● BUILT FOR BAYCARE

One system. Sixteen hospitals. One IT partner that gets Tampa Bay.

Your Epic footprint, Workday rollout, ambulatory growth, and post-acquisition integrations all compete for the same IT team.

Where IT leadership at BayCare feels the pressure

Growth is outrunning your build capacity.

Every acquisition, every new ambulatory facility, every payer contract adds build work. Your Epic and Workday teams are the bottleneck — not because they're not good, but because there aren't enough of them.

1

Epic Community Connect expansion. As independent physician groups and smaller hospitals join BayCare's Epic, the build, training, and support load scales non-linearly — and each affiliate has its own workflow quirks.

2

Workday stabilization and reporting. HCM is live, but managers still ping HR because the reports they need don't exist yet. Payroll edge cases around shift differentials and nursing contracts keep surfacing.

3

Ambulatory & Urgent Care growth. New sites need Epic build, device integration, and go-live support on aggressive timelines. Your analysts are already over-allocated on inpatient priorities.

4

RCM & denials in a tough payer market. Revenue cycle pressure is up across Florida systems. Optimizing claims, denials, and patient financial experience in Epic needs dedicated focus your BAU team can't give it.

What we bring to BayCare

The bench your team wishes it had — built into one partner.

Advisory & Transformation

Strategy built on what actually works at peer Florida and faith-based systems.

We've advised similar-sized IDNs through Epic optimization, ambulatory expansion, and post-merger integration. We help BayCare sequence the work so each investment compounds — instead of competing for the same analyst hours.

  • Epic optimization roadmaps tied to service-line KPIs
  • Post-acquisition integration playbooks for hospitals & physician groups
  • Ambulatory growth enablement (Epic build + operations)
  • Revenue cycle and denials transformation programs
ADVISORY

Your next great moment starts here.

Our consultants have led transformation at systems of BayCare's size — and know the difference between what sounds good in a deck and what survives contact with nursing workflows.

Peer Story — Southeastern IDN

A Community Connect rollout that didn't break the inpatient team.

"Healthcare IT Leaders owned the Community Connect wave while our team kept the inpatient roadmap moving. That's the only reason we didn't slip optimization by two quarters."
