Like most healthcare organizations, Iowa Health System was struggling to cope with an avalanche of IT projects. Its chargemaster standardization project was 50 percent complete, and they were facing the imminent start of an EPIC conversion.

Listen to Iowa Health Systems' front-line managers in their rapid standardization effort to learn how they attacked -and ultimately overcame - their challenges through such techniques as automated standardization processes, stakeholder engagement and cost-benefit analyses.
