George: So I see our CIS staff and other hospital staff writing and studying their scripts...

Jamie: Yes.

George: Is there a stage production going on that you haven't told me about?

Jamie: Nope.

George: Can you reply in something other than a monosyllabic response?

Jamie: Yes.

George: (grumble) So what are these scripts all about?

Jamie: Testing.

George: TESTING FOR WHAT !!!!!

Jamie: Epic.

George: I didn' t think the first go-live for Epic was until next summer?

Jamie: Right.

George:  Why are we testing now?

Jamie: Because.

George: BECAUSE WHY?????

Jamie: Safety.Quality.Satisfaction. Financial-performance.

George: Gotcha...that's two words.

Jamie: Nope

George: How do you figure?

Jamie: Hyphenated

George: "Financial Performance" is not a hyphenated word !!!

Jamie: Fine.

George: So we have started the first of many tests of the Epic applications to ensure that our desired workflows to support the overall goals of our implementation work according to our intended design to enable effective training and a successful go-live?

Jamie: Yes.

George: WHY DID YOU MAKE ME GO TO SUCH LENGTHS TO GET THIS UPDATE OUT OF YOU ??????

Jamie: I was just testing you.

George: (to himself: and I thought the Biden/Palin debate was tough!)
