EPIC User Group: Peer Discussion and Expert Perspectives
Event Date: 2/18/2026
Event Overview
2/18/2026
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CT (60 minutes)
Zoom Meeting
We’re hosting an upcoming EPIC Payer User Group designed as an open, peer-driven forum where plans can come together to share experiences, ask candid questions, and learn from one another.
We’ll be joined by experts from Tegria, who will offer practical perspectives and help ground the discussion in real-world implementation and operational considerations. The goal is not presentations, but conversation—what’s working, what’s been harder than expected, and what plans wish they’d known earlier.
Topics we expect to explore include:
- EPIC instance models
- Operational efficiencies and value
- Engaging provider systems
- Dashboards and analytics, including customization
- Tapestry-specific considerations
- Supplemental systems plans continue to use
- Implementation experiences
- Team structures
- Post-implementation staffing models, and much more.
This session is intended to be practical, candid, and interactive—come with questions, examples, or challenges you’re navigating, and we’ll shape the conversation around what’s most useful to the group.
