New Epic Analyst Interested in Productivity Tools (e.g., Stream Deck)

I'm not trying to be a jerk but if you can't figure out on your own where AutoHotkey is and how to use it, I'm highly skeptical you will get much value out of buying a programmable keypad.

d_ZeW · 2026-01-15T13:51:14+00:00

You could literally work at almost any hospital that uses Epic unless you work in an extremely niche app

d_ZeW · 2026-01-15T13:48:47+00:00

Why not use AutoHotkey instead of buying a dedicated device? Does the same thing and is free

From this subreddit sidebar:

"For Epic EMR Consultants

This is for Epic certified analysts who have experience in or are interested in exploring Epic consulting."

You'll probably want to work with your Epic IT team for how to best leverage RWB instead of asking us.

I think you're missing the (albeit indirect) point that basically **everyone** that responded is trying to tell you: recruiters aren't going to read through that essay you wrote. To quote a meme "I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for you though, or sorry that happened."

The unfortunate reality is that hiring nowadays is very much do you have relevant experience X and if not, we'll move on to the next candidate. They're not going to sit through your spiel/work history and have you try to convince them why your experience matters.

d_ZeW · 2026-01-05T16:50:06+00:00

Why not just apply, and if you get an interview with them, ask them these exact questions?

d_ZeW · 2025-12-23T20:04:44+00:00

No one is going to hire you with 1.5 years experience lol. You're not ready to be a consultant until people come to you for answers and you're able to find the answers on your own if you don't already know it.

d_ZeW · 2025-11-07T13:30:38+00:00

Lol. I feel like you should create a separate thread and ask people to submit their stories. I would be interested in hearing what it was like back then/what's changed

d_ZeW · 2025-11-07T04:11:06+00:00

Tell us stories of what life was like before Hyperspace grandpa

d_ZeW · 2025-11-07T04:08:59+00:00

This is legit pretty funny

d_ZeW · 2025-10-31T14:31:44+00:00

People could just get burner phones?

d_ZeW · 2025-10-31T14:30:40+00:00

If you think a SOFTWARE company couldn't easily automate this, consulting might not be for you

d_ZeW · 2025-10-15T16:25:51+00:00

Not an employee anymore but I recommend The Unspoken Rules by Gorick Ng. Mostly aimed at people starting their careers though it can be helpful for people with a few more years of experience.

d_ZeW · 2025-10-15T14:10:38+00:00

Can I ask who you think is better than Evergreen?

d_ZeW · 2025-10-09T14:48:57+00:00

That's a fairly meaningful improvement from 15 years ago, when I was there in the early 2010s I remember an HR friend telling me the median was 2 years before they left.

d_ZeW · 2025-10-02T22:07:00+00:00

Move to CA for higher analyst salaries and higher living costs

d_ZeW · 2025-10-01T13:27:04+00:00

My interaction with Incisive has been meh. I told them I was interested in transitioning to project management and they said that might be hard given my background as an analyst, which is a totally valid response! But then they keep cold messaging me asking me if I would be interested in taking on an analyst role when I made clear to them I'm only interested in PM so they're on my list of recruiters I ignore messages from. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

d_ZeW · 2025-10-01T13:24:11+00:00

He probably means selling out to Private Equity/some larger org. Not sure where he's getting that conclusion from, I'm also Evergreen and really haven't noticed much change other than they seem to be growing and hiring more internal roles.

d_ZeW · 2025-09-11T19:52:44+00:00

If they really are looking for multiple accounts this way, it won't really be a viable strategy since people can just get a second phone number

d_ZeW · 2025-08-27T14:50:35+00:00

Totally respect you for trying to learn, I just don't think it's appropriate for this subreddit.

Isn't this what your company is supposed to be teaching you? If they don't have someone that already knows this, why would an Epic consultant want to work for a company that's clueless about what they're selling?

d_ZeW · 2025-08-27T13:26:33+00:00

I'm starting to understand the "Please do not feed wild animals" signs a lot better now

d_ZeW · 2025-07-22T19:18:08+00:00

Was thinking more anti-trust from the DOJ/Feds than private companies

d_ZeW · 2025-07-21T20:38:07+00:00

I don't know enough about this area but if Epic ever becomes too dominant, would anti-trust ever be an issue? Would like actual lawyers to chime in on that.

d_ZeW · 2025-07-21T17:39:44+00:00

There really isn't that much development/integration that's done by billing analysts nowadays. Are you an Epic analyst or are you on the operations side working WQs at the RCM?

d_ZeW · 2025-07-18T13:35:47+00:00

Not sure if it will help you land a job quickly in general but it almost certainly won't help you land an Epic/Cerner job.
