Going live on a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) is one of the most critical aspects of the overall implementation project. It HAS to be successful. The costs and morale issues associated with a go-live gone bad are significant. That is why it is important to be armed with best practices to help ensure your success. Selecting the right vendor partner to help you plan and execute the go-live is another critical factor. Knowing potential pitfalls and working with a vendor that has proven methodology and experience can help your organization mitigate the stress and disruptions that can occur during go-live.

Over the last 10-15 years hospitals and health systems have spent millions of dollars to implement EHR systems. Yet, despite the investment in technologies promising bottom line improvements and greater efficiencies, many organizations have not seen their cost of care decrease or efficiency improve.
