Challenge

Fear of productivity and revenue loss during an EHR switch

EHR transitions can be a painful but necessary change for clinics. This decision impacts the entire organization from registration and billing to providers and their support staff. Clinics often delay EHR transitions, trying to avoid the revenue and productivity loss common during go-live weeks, as providers and staff slowly adjust to documenting encounters at lower patient volumes.
