Directed vs Customized EHR Implementations: New White Paper Features Strategies To Achieve EHR Implementation Success
Gettysburg, Pa. (November 24, 2019) — Many provider organizations are finding themselves disappointed and frustrated when it comes to implementing an electronic health record (EHR) system because they realize that a poorly thought out EHR implementation could be a disaster for their organization. Not only can it be costly, but if the software selected does not have the features and functionality that align with their practice requirements, or the implementation is not conducted as planned and expected, it could harm or altogether halt the delivery of quality services to those served.
There are two major types of EHR implementations, directed and customized, which are both very different and similar at the same time. When selecting the right technology, it’s also crucial to determine the appropriate implementation strategy to ensure a smooth implementation and utilization of the system. Throughout this white paper, readers will discuss what exactly a directed and customized implementation entails, as well as the pros and cons to each. Once a firm understanding of the implementation types is established, readers uncover the 6 key steps to a successful implementation. These steps outline how an implementation should be conducted, no matter the type, and how to leverage your current and future technology for competitive advantage.
This white paper will also feature a firsthand case study from Wesley Family Services, a regional human services organization in Pennsylvania, detailing how a directed implementation helped navigate and provided the framework for its recent merger and EHR implementation success. Wesley Family Services had a unique EHR implementation involving two systems after the merger was complete. By utilizing a combination of a directed implementation and customized implementation, they were able to successfully deploy their EHR system across the entire organization. Read all about the Wesley Family Services implementation and tips from their Chief Information Officer, Larry Trenga.
