Stop reinventing the wheel.
Healthcare systems spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on consulting engagements centered on information rather than work. What if we democratized that information to save healthcare systems money?
The Shipley Collaborative connects healthcare leaders with peers who've already solved the problem and are willing to share how.
Moderated by Taryn Shipley, healthcare consultant and Epic expert, to answer questions and provide expert opinions and advice.
You don't need every answer. You need someone you can ask.
Healthcare and technology are moving faster than any one person can track. EMR decisions, vendor contracts, and workflow redesigns carry high stakes, with limited time and limited visibility into what's working elsewhere.
Other organizations have already worked through similar problems. They've made the calls and learned the hard lessons, but that knowledge rarely travels, because there's no trusted place to have the conversation.
The Shipley Collaborative closes that gap. It's a private, organization-wide peer network where healthcare leaders at the director level and above connect with counterparts elsewhere to help each other make better decisions.
Healthcare organizations are facing many of the same challenges. The difference between a good decision and a costly one is often just one honest conversation with someone who has been there.
Practical value. Real conversations.
Built for the questions leaders actually need answered, not the ones they're comfortable posting publicly.
Ask & Get Perspectives
Bring real questions to peers who understand the complexity of your work.
Share What You've Learned
What worked, what didn't, and what you'd do differently. Candid lessons from peers carry more weight than any case study.
Tackle Shared Challenges
EMR and Epic decisions, vendor evaluations, workflow and technology implementations.
Build Lasting Relationships
Peer relationships that outlast any single role or project, and stay valuable as leaders grow and change organizations.
What the conversation can look like
Real examples of the questions and topics members can bring to the Collaborative.
Epic Solutions
Turning on a free Epic feature meant we could end a recurring $4M third party vendor contract.
Payor Negotiations
We spoke with our peers prior to renegotiating our payor contracts. We were more confident in negotiations because we had a better idea of what they were already paying other organizations.
Program Growth
We wanted to grow our structural heart program but weren't sure where to start. Talking to our peers expedited our transformation away from Excel and enabled us to double the program's size.
Vendor Selection
We were looking for an ambient scribe solution. Instead of spending months listening to vendor pitches and assessing options, we spoke with our peers to quickly learn who liked (or disliked) which vendors and why.
Community Connect Site Access
As a Community Connect site, we didn't know what we didn't know. By talking to our peers, we learned which specific access we needed to request to be able to better report on our data.
A space where honest answers are actually possible.
Finding the right person to ask is only half the challenge. The other half is a space where that person feels comfortable giving you a straight answer.
The Collaborative is a private community — not a public forum, not a social media thread. It's built for the candid exchange that only happens when leaders trust their audience.
That means real perspectives on vendor decisions that didn't go as planned, honest assessments of technology implementations, and unfiltered advice on organizational dynamics that rarely make it into a conference presentation.
Sidestepping a poor vendor contract or a costly feature implementation can save more than the cost of membership.
Membership is Organization-Wide
Directors and above can participate — across functions, across teams.
