Oh, absolutely. My previous employer used an Epic migration to standardize workflows across a dozen hospitals that were brought together through a bunch of different mergers over three decades. Before the Epic migration, nurses/schedulers/etc. couldn't easily pick up shifts in other locations because the workflows were so different.

One of my amazements in healthcare is that you could go to 19 different hospitals with the same issue and get as many variations of treatment.

Same input, but vastly different outputs.

And I don’t think their differing constraints can appropriately justify it.
