Optimum Healthcare IT, an expert in Epic for over 13 years, can assist healthcare organizations in realizing the benefits of EHR on Azure.
Optimum Healthcare IT offers a structured and proven approach to helping healthcare organizations migrate their electronic health record systems to Microsoft Azure. With over a decade of experience supporting hundreds of healthcare clients nationwide, Optimum is uniquely positioned to deliver a cloud modernization strategy that aligns with organizational goals, minimizes risk, and supports long-term scalability.
Our services are organized into a comprehensive engagement model to ensure seamless delivery from strategy through implementation. The program enables your teams to move forward with confidence, with clearly defined governance, milestone-driven execution, and ongoing advisory support.
Our process begins with alignment. We collaborate with executive and technical stakeholders to assess current infrastructure, identify key business drivers, and define a cloud transformation roadmap that supports long-term organizational goals. This phase establishes the foundation for effective governance, stakeholder engagement, and decision-making throughout the engagement.
Optimum’s Azure architects develop a scalable and secure design tailored to your clinical and operational needs. This includes infrastructure plans for Epic environments (Alt-Production, Non-Production, Disaster Recovery), seamless integration with third-party applications, and the incorporation of Azure-native tools for automation, resilience, and security. Our architecture emphasizes high performance, regulatory compliance, and future AI-readiness.
We build and configure the Azure environment to match your approved design, deploying compute, storage, networking, and access layers required to support Epic and its co-travelers. Leveraging Microsoft automation capabilities such as autoscaling, auto-healing, and infrastructure-as-code, we deliver a cloud platform that is resilient, cost-efficient, and operationally aligned.
Optimum executes a rigorous multi-phase testing strategy that validates system performance, integration accuracy, and security posture. Dry run migrations are conducted in isolated environments to minimize production risk. We use these exercises to refine your cutover strategy, strengthen DR readiness, and mature operational runbooks that support future business continuity planning.
Our team supports the transition to Azure with structured change management, stakeholder communications, and final readiness assessments. During the deployment phase, we help coordinate the production cutover, manage interface transitions, and validate end-to-end workflows to ensure operational stability and staff confidence in the new environment.
To ensure long-term success, we provide hands-on training, operational documentation, and post-go-live knowledge transfer. We also help your organization establish performance baselines, define metrics for continuous improvement, and assess readiness for advanced initiatives such as analytics, automation, or AI enablement. Optimum can remain engaged as a managed services partner or transition responsibilities to your internal teams.
From developing an Epic Cloud strategy, to establishing non-prod environments, to EHR Alt-Prod and IRE deployments, to complete EHR cloud migrations, Optimum Healthcare IT can help you achieve key benefits, including:
