Seizing the Moment
A system-wide EHR migration created the perfect moment to unify three legacy instances into one, and connect it all just once
Why the Epic Migration Made the Business Case
For organizations navigating a similar electronic health record (EHR) migration, the NetMenu consolidation offered a compelling co-investment strategy: reduce platform complexity while unlocking data that makes the clinical integration more powerful.
NetMenu pulls patient diet orders directly from Epic and cross-references against the full nutritional and allergen profile of each menu item, issuing warnings when a selection doesn't match a prescribed diet. The result is safer meals, fewer errors, and menus that feel more personalized.
Leadership approval came down to two factors:
Eliminating the complexity of connecting three separate platforms to Epic
Realizing the purchasing savings that Corewell's new scale made possible
ll
When the health system decided to go live with Epic, that was our in to go after a NetMenu migration. If we could beat Epic to the finish line, we would only have to connect it once.
And there was the ROI, standardizing our purchasing and using our size to negotiate better pricing. We went from 10 to 12 chicken tenders down to just two.
