One of the most challenging phases of any Health System's Cerner Millennium® implementation or upgrade project is testing. The testing phase of these projects is crucial for several reasons:

• Finding errors and correcting them prior to exposing the system to end-users will increase user confidence and acceptance of the system.
• Well-planned and executed testing provides certification and assurance that the system works as designed.
• Quality testing eliminates further delays in project timelines and reduces costs associated with these delays.

HPG® has developed a streamlined, phased approach to testing that is not only thorough and complete but also reduces inefficiencies. We call this approach our Enhanced Testing Solution. HPG’s vision of testing as a process starts with a comprehensive list of audits from the ETS Resource Library.

Time-consuming and resource-heavy, testing is left to your HPG consulting team. This approach allows customers to be:

• Far more efficient and comprehensive than a manual approach
• Economical
• Scalable and flexible
• System validation status can be achieved more quickly and accurately
• Focus health system resources on their other deadlines and projects

ETS is an example of a service built by HPG associates. When you see a customer need, bring your ideas forward. We are always looking for ways to provide new services to our customers and to provide our associates the “creative” outlet they enjoy.
