MEDITECH READY Implementation

MEDITECH READY Applications are a suite of pre-configured, standardized modules within the MEDITECH Expanse EHR system designed to streamline the implementation process for healthcare organizations. These applications incorporate best practices and predefined settings to ensure a more efficient deployment and quicker adoption of the EHR system. READY incorporates standardized best practices, phased implementation, comprehensive training, change management strategies, customization, and ongoing support. The process is divided into distinct stages, including planning, design, build, training, testing, and go-live, to ensure a smooth and efficient transition.

Key aspects of MEDITECH READY Applications include:

• Pre-Configured Templates: These applications come with pre-built templates that cover various clinical and administrative workflows, reducing the need for extensive customization and allowing for faster setup.
• Standardized Best Practices: The configurations are based on industry best practices and MEDITECH’s extensive experience, ensuring that the applications are optimized for effective use in diverse healthcare settings.
• Integrated Modules: The READY Applications include a range of integrated modules that cover different areas of healthcare operations, such as clinical documentation, order management, patient scheduling, billing, and more. This integration ensures seamless data flow and cohesive functionality across the system.
• Role-Based Customization: While the applications are pre-configured, they still allow for role-based customization to meet the specific needs of various user groups within the organization, such as physicians, nurses, and administrative staff.
• Enhanced Interoperability: Facilitates easier data exchange and integration with external healthcare systems and partners.
• Accelerated Implementation: By leveraging these pre-configured applications, healthcare organizations can significantly reduce the time and resources required for EHR implementation, leading to quicker go-live timelines and faster realization of benefits.
• Ongoing Support and Updates: MEDITECH provides ongoing support and regular updates for READY Applications, ensuring that they remain current with the latest healthcare regulations, standards, and technological advancements.

MEDITECH Training

As a highly robust, flexible application, MEDITECH can be customized to match your facilities’ workflows. Therefore, your in-house teams will need interactive training that’s targeted to their specific roles so that physicians can learn how to streamline their functions, insurance experts can facilitate theirs, and so forth.

We rapidly fulfill requests for MEDITECH training professions who can create and present engaging training sessions in a way that prepares your team to seamlessly navigate the application and its customized configurations. Then, once the application is implemented, integrated, and optimized, your team can use it with confidence—and your facilities will benefit, cost-wise, as the maximum efficiency is achieved.

Process documentation is also crucial and HealthTECH has MEDITECH consultants with technical writing expertise who can create workstation manuals and more as part of the MEDITECH EMR training process.

MEDITECH Consultants

When you reach out to us for MEDITECH consulting, we provide access to professionals with a broad spectrum of specialties—and, the more information you provide us, the more laser targeted our staff augmentation recommendations will be. So, consider what:

• Tasks and goals you envision for each EHR consultant
• Niche parts of the process they will help to augment
• Deep knowledge will be required

For example, you may be looking for EHR consultants who specialize in:

• MEDITECH EHR implementation
• Module builds, such as with PCM/Physicians’ Desktop/P-Doc, RD/RW – Report Designer/Report Writer, and LSS/MPM – Medical Practice Management
• MEDITECH go-live cutovers

HealthTECH can augment your staff with short-term consultants to permanent hires for projects of all lengths and complexities.

MEDITECH Implementation

For this part of the process, you can calculate how much staff you’ll need for your EHR implementation by reviewing in-house staff and their specialties; their current workload; and how much time the MEDITECH implementation would require from each. Determine what skills gaps exist and be careful not to overload any members of your in-house team with too many implementation responsibilities. You can then see how much staff augmentation you’ll require and in what niche areas.

The goal is to strategically right-size your human resources talent. If you have questions about how to do that, please contact the experts at HealthTECH. This is our specialty!

Once you’ve organized and optimized your human resources, you can then confidently move forward on your MEDITECH implementation. Our EHR consultants will be on hand to help you create goals and timelines, and tasks and deadlines within your project’s budget and scope.

MEDITECH Optimization

Go beyond baseline EHR implementation to maximize the benefits of this robust application through MEDITECH optimization. We’ll provide top-notch, knowledgeable professionals who can optimize this highly-flexible software so that it’s customized to your organization’s workflows and processes.

Experts from our network can right-pace your software’s implementation and optimization, as well, preventing the process from getting bogged down and adding unnecessary expense to the project. They can also help to prevent the project from moving too quickly. By proceeding at an optimally balanced pace to maximize effectiveness and efficiency, you’ll be confident that crucial steps aren’t being skipped.

Our experienced professionals are adept at creating workarounds when challenges arise while also guiding companies around pitfalls. The result? An optimized application that benefits your healthcare facilities, your in-house physicians and other staff, and your patients.

MEDITECH Go-Live Services

As the MEDITECH go-live day approaches, your team will be busy with their punch list, ensuring that the application has been fully implemented and optimized. Items on that list will likely include the following:

• Key stakeholders in diverse roles will be asked for input before the system cuts over.
• IT will thoroughly test the application setup to ensure that all is in place for optimal usage.
• MEDITECH training sessions will be completed for all user groups.
• Configurations will be double-checked to ensure they all work as planned.
• Any remaining change management issues will be handled.

Once all items are confidently checked off the list, the official go-live cutover can take place with the integrated MEDITECH solution now enhancing facility capabilities from financial to clinical.

MEDITECH EHR/EMR Migration

An EHR/EMR migration can be complex and can include these tasks:

• Assessment of current IT systems to understand baseline capabilities
• Exploration of MEDITECH and how it will enhance operations
• Creation of a migration plan
• Analysis of in-house staff and what’s needed for a strategic augmentation
• MEDITECH implementation and integration
• MEDITECH optimization, go-live switchovers, and training

As an example of the first bullet point, some facilities may still be using paper records that need to be part of an EMR implementation and digital transformation. Other times, a facility is ready for a migration to a fully robust EMR system. When it comes down to it, every facility has unique challenges and opportunities and needs clean, non-duplicated data for maximum integrity.

Decision trees for data migration, as another example, can include determining which data will not be included during the MEDITECH migration; this could include patient billing balances. Another decision: what data is ready to be archived because of inactivity. Each decision must be handled with care for the optimal integrity of medical records going forward in the new system.
