Implementation planning & readiness
A new EMR is only part of the digital change. What clinicians and patients end up with depends on how it connects to the wider ecosystem and the specialist applications around it. We help you see that full picture early, so it is planned and budgeted from the start.
When to engage us
That is when integration planning adds the most value. If your program is already under way, we can still help.
Why it matters
If a business case doesn’t account for integration, the surprises tend to come later, and they land directly on the budget. Bring us in early and we’ll help you see what the future environment looks like, and how many integrations it will take to support it.
How the EMR, the wider ecosystem and specialist applications will work together.
Every interface to replace, rebuild or retain, counted and sized so it can be budgeted.
How old and new systems work together through the transition, and when the program is ready to move.
Our approach
Six areas, scaled to the size of the program and the stage you engage us at.
Every current and future interface catalogued, classified by complexity and estimated.
How legacy and new systems coexist, exchange data and stay in sync through each phase of rollout.
Integration waves aligned to module rollouts, vendor deliverables and other programs.
The skills, test environments and test data needed, and when.
Risks identified early, with owners and clear signals to watch.
Objective go/no-go criteria at each checkpoint, so each decision is made with confidence.
What you receive
Interface inventory, estimates, sequencing and resourcing, ready to feed the business case or delivery plan.
How systems operate together through the transition, phase by phase.
Go/no-go criteria and a risk register the program can track through to go-live.
