- The health system incurred $1.6 million in professional fees related to the Epic rollout during Q4 2024, compared to the $400,000 spent in the same period in 2023.
- For the full year, Epic-related professional fees totaled $3.1 million, up from $1.8 million in 2023. Ardent also allocated $100,000 in salaries and benefits for the implementation during both Q4 and the full year.
- The report notes that these figures do not reflect ongoing maintenance costs, indicating the total financial impact of the transition extends beyond the disclosed expenses.
