  • Epic User Web reporting limitations create blind spots in collections performance tracking across departments

  • Staff training deficits on Epic’s revenue cycle modules lead to missed collection opportunities and workflow inefficiencies

  • Multi-facility Epic implementations create data silos that complicate consolidated collections strategies
