Client Challenge: The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (formerly known as Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) required an expert-level resource to join the team for the design, implementation and support of its Cerner Ambulatory and Cerner Oncology solutions. As it relied on a lean team internally, the organization needed comprehensive support and superior execution for the desired results.

HPG Solution: The cancer center turned to HPG for assistance provided by Evan McAfee, who utilized his expertise in all things Cerner to develop, design and build around Cerner Ambulatory and Cerner Oncology and the integrated solution areas of Orders, CPOE, Rules, CCL and more. Evan’s soft skills as a consultant earned the team’s full trust in his ability to incorporate best practices, resolve complex workflows, and achieve optimal results within Physician and Provider adoption.

Project Timeline: For over 7 years, Evan became an integral part of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center team.
