Staff adoption and training
Regardless of which EHR solution you choose, there will be a period of transition your staff must undergo. Not everyone will share the same interest or familiarity with the new technology, which can cause resistance and frustration among your staff.
With decades of analytics experience, our customer insights team can help you bridge the gap from data retrieval to implementation. Together, we can overcome your pain points and get your staff up to speed.
Data migration
Maintaining data quality during migration is another concern when pursuing EHR integration. Inconsistent formats, coding, or terminology can lead to data siloes and slowed processes. Not to mention, any sensitive data lost in transition can leave your organization vulnerable.
Reduce discrepancies and errors by partnering with a reputable vendor that supports your migration process with strict data quality standards. Lean on knowledgeable customer service teams to ensure data flows efficiently and securely.
Data privacy
In 2023, more than 540 organizations and 112 million individuals experienced healthcare data breaches. Data privacy is paramount when selecting or upgrading EHR technology as sensitive patient data is at risk.
For this reason, your team should choose a HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based platform with strict access requirements and encryption. These security measures will help you avoid both intentional cyberattacks and unintentional data leaks.
Return on investment
You’re going to want to see results from your chosen platform. All the time and resources you’ve spent pouring into a consolidated solution should yield an impressive return on investment. That said, many organizations fear new software may not be worth it.
Considering the costs and benefits of EHR integration, think about it this way: messy data can’t solve pressing problems and will only slow your operations as you scale. A comprehensive EHR integration solution, on the other hand, can improve your data management, unite your care teams, and enhance patient outcomes.
