This system not only directly impacts patient care, it also streamlines the workflow processes and revenue cycle. The risk/impact of this project not being completed on time would affect patients from obtaining their medication refills in a timely manner, patients would not receive their medical appointment reminders, drug recalls and wellness messages would not be delivered.
