5.1 Implementing an EMR - Introduction

 

The implementation phase is possibly the most important topic in this e-book, unfortunately this topic is often the most overlooked and in many cases offices thoroughly review the different EMR packages but once the product is purchased they expect the vendor to take over and bring the implementation to completion. While many vendors’ products are alike, the processes used for product implementation can vary greatly from vendor to vendor. Some offer remote training & installation services while others offer onsite services, and some even give you the option of both. Selecting an installation method that’s right for your office and your budget is crucial.

What’s important to recognize is that the implementation cost will be a significant portion of your total EMR project cost. At first glance this cost can seem unnecessarily high but recognizing the amount of human hours involved in the implementation and the importance of having a successful implementation you will see how important that is.

The implementation phase can be sub categorized into the following phases:

1. EMR Implementation Planning
2. Prepare your practice
3. Build and Customize your EMR Software
4. Install & Test
5. Plan the changeover strategy
6. Go-Live
7. Maintenance
