In 2020 Ascension implemented Cognizant TriZetto Facets as a Core Admin Processing System. The engagement focused on operational validation of claims adjudication, enrollment intake, and payment processing for Medicaid and Medicare lines of business, with QA activity performed from Michigan, United States.
Testing and configuration work covered core Facets modules including Claims, Providers, Subscribers and Reporting, and operational batch jobs such as CKMM, CLMU and CLDU. QA teams created manual medical and hospital claims to exercise business scenarios, nominated manual test cases for automation, and extended the project regression automation suite to cover new scenarios.
Integration testing exercised HIPAA EDI transaction sets EDI 837, EDI 834 and EDI 835, with verification of loop, segment and data element structure against HIPAA implementation guidelines. QA processed and modified EDI 837 files moved from production to lower environments to simulate complex claims scenarios, loaded employer submitted EDI 834 files via Jenkins jobs, collaborated with external vendors on extract and file transmission, and reviewed claims payment functionality after 835 generation. Backend validation used SQL queries in TOAD and SQL Developer, including INSERT and UPDATE DML and DDL operations to validate test data and business logic.
Work followed Agile scrum methodology, with QA contributing to daily scrum, sprint planning, sprint review and retrospective ceremonies, and coordinating with the Business Relationship Manager, Scrum Master and Technical Product Owner on task estimation, story point sizing and level of effort. Test execution and traceability were managed through Jira, supporting end to end functional validation of Cognizant TriZetto Facets as the Core Admin Processing System.

| Epic Systems | Legacy | Epic Clarity | Data Warehouse | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018 Ascension implemented Epic Clarity as its enterprise Data Warehouse, establishing Epic Clarity as the centralized reporting repository for clinical and administrative data. The implementation aligned Epic Clarity with Ascensions broader Epic Systems footprint and positioned the Clarity database to support SQL based reporting and analytics workloads across the health system.
Configuration and operational setup emphasized Clarity database schemas, scheduled extract transform load processes, and the creation of reporting data marts to support operational, clinical, and administrative use cases. Epic Clarity was configured to host curated relational models and stored procedures for downstream business intelligence, with teams authoring SQL reports and parameterized extracts to feed analytics pipelines.
Integrations concentrated on the Epic electronic health record source systems, with scheduled ETL pulls from transactional clinical and administrative tables into Epic Clarity for consolidated reporting. The footprint supported downstream BI and analytics consumers that query Epic Clarity as the authoritative reporting store within Ascensions data topology.
Governance and run book responsibilities were staffed internally, reflected by roles and tenures including an Integration Analyst from February 2016 to February 2018, a Solutions Development Analyst for Epic Clarity from March 2018 to present, and a Senior Technology Analyst for Epic Clarity from January 2023 to present. Governance centered on change control for ETL jobs, report lifecycle management, and operational monitoring of Epic Clarity deployments to maintain data availability for clinical and business stakeholders.

In 2021, Ascension implemented Change Healthcare PACS as a Collaboration platform to centralize radiology imaging storage and clinical image access across multiple Ascension sites. The implementation was positioned within radiology operations and focused on standardizing imaging workflows and viewer access for clinical teams across those sites.
Change Healthcare PACS was configured to provide core PACS capabilities including image acquisition, DICOM archive management, clinical viewers, and versioned software upgrades. Implementation activities included PACS and CPACS upgrade planning, configuration testing, and ongoing version preparedness, with dedicated PACS administrators assigned to manage system configuration and release validation.
Integrations were established with ancillary imaging applications explicitly managed by Ascension, including Powerscribe, Viewpoint, Syngo Via, and Tera Recon, and the PACS environment supported domain migration activities and EMR transitions from Paragon to Cerner. Interface patterns included standard imaging and messaging protocols to connect viewing and post processing capabilities to enterprise systems, with operational coverage centered on radiology departments across multiple sites and remote administration.
Governance and rollout were organized around imaging project milestones, upgrade testing cycles, and domain migration checkpoints, with assigned technical ownership for PACS administration and cross functional coordination with imaging, IT, and EMR teams. Process changes focused on structured upgrade validation, interface readiness for EMR migration, and centralized administration to maintain consistency across sites.
