HMC/UWMC Epic Systems (2012)

We performed a review of controls over the system interfaces to the EPIC billing system, posting of bed charges, UWMC cash drawer security and reconciliation, user access, security administration and production changes. We found one critical issue related to the to the capture and recording of bed charges to the EPIC billing system due to delayed or unsigned physician orders. Recommended improvements in the process have been implemented. We also recommended improvements in controls related to user access administration and maintenance and authorization of changes to the production environment.
