Southern Illinois Healthcare (SIH) partnered with SureTest to provide test automation as a managed service for their Epic EHR system. The collaboration aimed to streamline SIH’s testing processes, reduce manual labor, and improve overall efficiency. Within nine months of project kick-off, SureTest successfully automated high-value and regularly executed test case scenarios.
Before implementing automation, SIH faced several challenges:
- 15 dedicated analysts were required for two weeks for each quarterly Epic update.
- Thousands of manual testing hours were spent annually.
- Tedious efforts were needed to produce test result documentation and maintain test scripts.
With SureTest’s managed test automation solution, SIH was able to leverage automation for the first quarterly Epic update received while still in the script development phase. The implementation project is now complete, and SIH is receiving continuous smoke and regression testing of its key clinical and revenue cycle workflows that populate downstream systems.
Key Achievements:
- Reduction in Manual Testing: SIH experienced a significant reduction in manual testing time.
- Automation Implementation: SureTest automated 375+ manual workflows, transforming them into integrated patient journeys.
- Continuous Testing: Continuous testing of key clinical and revenue cycle workflows.
