Transforming Healthcare IT with You for More Than 25 Years
The multifaceted process of EHR data migration involves assessing your current system’s data: its structure, integrity, amount of duplication, and differences from the new system’s setup. Plenty of decisions will then need to be made, including what data to archive; how to merge duplicate records; how to migrate the data; verify its integrity, post-migration; and more.
To streamline the usage of your new application, professionals in our staff supplementation network will strategically perform EHR optimization techniques. These go above and beyond implementation by maximizing your robust yet flexible new software, as well as identifying and proactively working around potential pitfalls. EHR optimization also includes optimal pacing; too rapid of optimization can involve skipping key steps in workflow development.
Before the new application goes live, dedicated planning and effort is required to complete all tasks to perfection to ensure the success of the implementation and optimization. This involves checking all the boxes: targeted training, change management initiatives, application setup testing, and more. Once the system is properly configured and the punch list is fully completed, EHR go-live support professionals will ensure a smooth transition.
To keep powerful applications at their cutting-edge best—and to continue to maximize ROI—EHR upgrades to the software’s latest version is often required. Upgrades can involve technical updates; enhanced module functionalities; seamless compatibility with hardware and software; and more. When upgrading, this can be an ideal time to incorporate new modules and thoroughly review your current infrastructure and its ability to communicate well with servers, processors, workstation peripherals, and third-party vendor software.
To allow end users across your organization to confidently, efficiently, and effectively navigate your new system, our experts provide targeted EHR training. These programs aid in application adoption, providing unique training that dovetails with how your EHR system will be configured and customized. Experts in our network can also create user-friendly process documentation for your training manuals.
Reasons exist for maintaining an EHR legacy system, including familiarity with workflows or perhaps a healthcare organization isn’t yet prepared to transition to another system. Because many EHR consulting firms only focus on implementing new applications, it can be hard to find professionals who provide quality support for EHR legacy systems—but this is a service that HealthTECH Resources seamlessly provides.
Our EHR software consultants specialize exclusively in healthcare technology, providing top-tier professionals to strengthen your in-house IT team. From initial implementation to system upgrades, our experts ensure your organization has the specialized knowledge needed to streamline processes and achieve optimal results at every stage.

“The team at HealthTECH provided us with multiple resources during our Epic implementation. We also required legacy support during the implementation and they were able to help us with that as well.

EHR/EMR Consulting FAQs
What is a healthcare EMR/EHR system?
This is a broad term for the electronic systems used by health care facilities and professionals to store, analyze, and share health-related info in collaborative ways. Patients are also using these systems, increasingly more often, to glean information about their medical diagnoses and participate in the management of their own health.
Examples of electronic medical records (EMRs) and electronic health records (EHRs) are Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, among several other. Electronic health information can be encrypted for enhanced security and privacy, which means that only authorized users can access the info. Healthcare software can also track and maintain information about who has read the records as an added protocol.
What is the difference between EMR and EHR?
Both EMRs and EHRs house digital patient health records with slight differences. EMR stands for “electronic medical records” and they are more or less an electronic version of what would appear in a patient’s paper record from visits to a particular provider. We augment staff for healthcare facilities in need of experienced EMR consultants with a wide range of specialties.
EHR, meanwhile, stands for “electronic health records” and they are a more holistic solution, able to contain a patient’s record from multiple providers. Those providers can share those records among one other, making it a powerful collaborative tool. Examples of top EHR software used by medical facilities include Epic and Cerner. Here at HealthTECH Resources, we specialize in providing quality healthcare IT solutions by augmenting staff with knowledgeable and experienced Cerner and Epic consultants, as well as other professional EHR consultants with expertise in systems such as MEDITECH, NextGen, Allscripts, and more.
What is the role of EHR consulting services in healthcare?
As in just about any industry, knowledge is power, and having the right data at your fingertips is a genuine difference-maker. In the medical industry, having the correct information, easily accessed, can play a huge role in the quality of patient care being provided, enhancing a population’s overall health.
When a healthcare facility has clean and accurate patient data, communication between physicians/healthcare professionals and their patients is automatically enhanced—and it allows medical pros to provide more customized care, better prescription management, and much more. The right healthcare IT software will streamline the access of information; reduce repetitive tasks so that medical teams can put more time and attention on patient care; and can also reduce costs.
These systems, of course, aren’t set up and managed without the help of qualified EHR consultants who specialize in crucial niche areas where your staff needs to be augmented—and we can fill in your staffing gaps with Epic consultants, Cerner consultants, and much more.
What are the key benefits of working with an EHR/EMR consulting firm?
Experienced, quality healthcare IT consulting firms can match your organization with EMR consultants possessing exactly the right specialties to fill in staffing gaps to efficiently and effectively complete projects. HealthTECH Resources offers both long-term consultants (independent contractors) and permanent placements (employees). Our outstanding leadership will happily help analyze your needs and discuss the best options, providing you with niche experts that can save you time and money. A few other key benefits include:
- Help your healthcare facility stay in compliance with evolving regulations
- Get reimbursements more efficiently with shortened revenue cycles
- Provide cyber-secure solutions
- Enhance productivity
- Realize a return on investment more quickly
What factors should we consider when choosing an EHR/EMR consulting company?
When you need an EHR consultant, it’s important to get exactly the right one—and not all healthcare IT companies that recruit and augment staff are equal in their abilities to place just the right professionals within your facilities. Things to look for when choosing healthcare IT service professionals include:
- Specialized experience: If you need EMR/EHR consultants and also need to hit the ground running with projects, it doesn’t matter how proficient someone is with other EMR/EHR applications. You need consultants who can provide expertise and fuel momentum now.
- Flexible options: Choose a healthcare IT recruiting and staffing company that offers the hiring options you need. If you’re looking for a permanent placement for a position, it won’t be helpful if an agency can only send short-term EHR consultants.
- Fast response times: Many traditional Healthcare IT consulting companies can sometimes take weeks to deliver professionals, delaying your project.
- Reliable: Consistency in staffing success is key, so it’s imperative that the healthcare IT company will provide you with the EHR consultants and other professionals you need. Hit and miss when it comes to healthcare IT consulting just won’t do it in today’s ultra-competitive world.
At HealthTECH Resources, you can count on being reliably staffed with top professionals that fit your niche needs, usually within 48 hours. To get started, please contact us online today.
