EMR integration strategy
We help healthcare organisations turn the vision for an EMR program into an integration strategy that is achievable and operationally meaningful, grounded in your current environment and an independent view of what the EMR can do.
Where it fits
EMR programs need more than implementation. Integration strategy sets the direction delivery then follows: clear objectives, a target architecture and a plan the program can act on.
EMR capability assessment
Before designing interfaces, we assess the EMR platform being introduced independently of its vendor, so the strategy is based on what the platform actually does rather than on assumptions. Every requirement lands in one of three places.
Workflows and data the EMR already handles out of the box, which don’t need to be built as interfaces.
Where the EMR must exchange data with other clinical and business systems, and what each of those interfaces has to do.
Where the new platform opens up better ways of working that weren’t possible in the current environment.
Our approach
Six steps in two phases. The first four build an accurate picture of where you are and what the EMR offers; the last two define where you’re going and how to get there.
Understand
Transformation goals, clinical priorities and operational needs, gathered with your stakeholders.
The vision turned into measurable integration objectives, delivery streams and priorities.
Systems, workflows, interfaces and interoperability dependencies, as they really operate today.
An independent view of what the EMR does natively and where integration is needed.
Define
How systems, workflows and interoperability should operate in the target environment.
Sequencing, testing, cutover and operational readiness guidance for delivery.
What you receive
Measurable objectives, delivery streams and priorities that connect clinical, operational and technical outcomes.
What must be delivered, how systems should interoperate, and what the target environment looks like.
Sequencing, testing, cutover and operational readiness considerations to carry into delivery.
