Epic Build Specification & Workflow Optimizer
Design and validate Epic build specifications with structured requirements and test coverage
What You Can Do
Generate comprehensive, structured build specifications for Epic EHR implementations that include detailed requirements, configuration logic, and validation test cases. You can create traceability matrices linking requirements to tests, validate specification completeness, and produce deployment-ready documentation that ensures clinical and technical stakeholders align on implementation details.
Features
organize functional, technical, and non-functional requirements with clear acceptance criteria
map test cases to requirements with expected results, test data, and coverage analysis
identify gaps, inconsistencies, and missing dependencies before implementation begins
captures system parameter settings, workflow rules, and integration dependencies
estimates effort, identifies critical path items, and flags risk areas
links requirements to tests to deployment validation, ensuring nothing falls through cracks
verifies configuration, data, security, and performance before go-live
visualizes Epic processes, decision points, and system interactions
Example Output
Build Specification Output:
Epic Problem List Build Specification
1. Functional Requirements
- REQ-001: Display active problems sorted by date with color-coded severity
- REQ-002: Support problem entry with ICD-10 code lookup and validation
- REQ-003: Archive resolved problems with timestamp and user capture
2. Configuration Requirements
- CONF-001: Problem list snapshot frequency (every 4 hours)
- CONF-002: Duplicate detection rules (by ICD-10 code + status)
- CONF-003: Security role restrictions (clinical staff only)
3. Test Case Matrix
| Test ID | Requirement | Test Case | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC-001 | REQ-001 | Display 10 active problems | All problems shown, most recent first |
| TC-002 | REQ-002 | Enter new problem with code validation | Problem created with ICD-10 verified |
| TC-003 | CONF-003 | Non-clinical user attempts access | Access denied, error message shown |
4. Risk Assessment
- High: ICD-10 code validation performance under load
- Medium: Data migration from legacy system completeness
- Low: UI rendering on older browsers
What's Included
- SKILL.md: Complete framework for Epic specification generation with workflows, templates, and verification logic
- Build Specification Template: Structured sections for functional, technical, and non-functional requirements
