Professional Menu of Healthcare EHR Services
As one of the most knowledgeable healthcare EHR consulting firms in the industry today, we offer a broad range of services across many different EMR systems, including Epic consulting and implementation.
EHR Implementation
EHR implementations require in-depth knowledge as well as finesse and a nuanced touch throughout the intricate planning process. When implementing and upgrading your technology, your healthcare organization will want to get it right the first time, given the significant investments made in time and money.
Implementations are multi-faceted projects, and healthcare organizations typically need a myriad of healthcare EHR consulting professionals: from planning through go-live and everything in between. Fortunately, the experienced professionals at HealthTECH resources have proven expertise in all of the major systems used in North America.
EHR Optimization
We customize every solution to your organization, ensuring that your healthcare technology is precisely configured for your unique specifications: processes, procedures, and workflows. Each time that we flexibly configure an EHR system, we consider today’s requirements and what the facilities will need in the future as the organization expands and regulations evolve.
We also optimize the EHR system for maximum impact on the healthcare organization. This ensures that EHR systems are fully operational, structured to allow organizations to benefit from the modern system, and realize ROI in a timely and cost-effective manner.
EHR Data Migration
When you switch to a new brand of software, data needs to be transformed into a format that your new system can use. As part of this process, your organization may decide to archive some data while cleaning other information for ongoing use, removing duplicates, as needed. Although the general procedure is often the same, each client has unique challenges and goals, so we craft individualized data migration solutions to meet precise needs.
Our experienced professionals create and implement migration processes, getting it right the first time to provide organizations with seamless, no-stress healthcare EHR solutions.
EHR Training & Adoption
We provide multiple training initiatives to engage physicians and other medical staff, management, and your front-line team: computerized provider order entry (CPOE), meaningful use (MU), ICD-10, and more.
The best technology available today won’t reach maximum effectiveness until confident adoption takes place in your workforce. When a new system is successfully adopted, then you can optimize patient care, financial management, and much more. Because each healthcare organization may prefer different training structures, our professionals create personalized ones that dovetail with your culture—along with customized delivery of engaging, interactive training programs, plenty of Q&A time, and as much healthcare EHR support as you need.
Instruction Design and Go Live
From training your end users through customized educational programs created by instructional designers of unsurpassed quality to providing round-the-clock healthcare EHR support, HealthTECH Resources is standing by, ready to troubleshoot, answer questions, address roadblocks, and more. No matter what you require, you can count on experienced, dedicated professionals ready to assist as you activate your new EHR technology.
HealthTECH Resources can provide professionals as you prepare to go live; throughout the transition; and after the cutover through our healthcare EHR staff augmentation services. Whatever you need, we have the expertise.

EHR Upgrades
Upgrading your EHR system takes careful planning with significant attention to detail. When it’s time to upgrade (perhaps once or twice a year), you’ll want to leverage the most advanced version of the EHR application. Upgrades may contain new modules, services, and capabilities—typically to address flaws in current technology or meet upcoming regulatory requirements.
EHR upgrades, although not as intricate as implementations, can still involve numerous important decisions. Here at HealthTECH Resources, we are an EHR consulting firm with a network of professionals who have expertise in the major EHR systems used in the United States and are readily available to help you.
Project Management
Healthcare EHR projects can become quite complex whether you’re transitioning paper records or an electronic medical records (EMR) system to a robust EHR one. HealthTECH Resources provides quality project management services for both the human resource and financial side of the EHR project. This provides relief for in-house administrators as augmented project managers help your organization to complete projects on time and on budget. These experts can help you to meet mandates, avoid potential reimbursement penalties, and much more.

Unlike many other healthcare EHR consulting firms, we’ll help your organization extend the life of your legacy system, helping you maintain the software while transitioning to a new application. Our boutique-style agency has more than 20 years of experience, which gives us a depth of perspective that allows us to provide you with the most seamless transition process possible.
Laboratory Information Systems (LIS)
After selecting the best laboratory information system (LIS) for your needs, it’s crucial to optimally implement it to maximize usage and ROI. Strategic implementation involves gathering insights from key stakeholders, reviewing workflows, and so forth. The LIS implementers (which could consist of your in-house team and LIS consultants working together) can then craft a plan that dovetails with your project’s scope, budget, and goals. Next up: optimizing the application for the best integration into your laboratory’s IT systems and training staff on how to use it.
Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)
Enhance your organization’s financial performance with HealthTECH’s Revenue Cycle Management services. Acting as an extension of your team, we handle the complexities of billing and claims processes, helping to optimize revenue recovery, reduce claim denials, and improve days sales outstanding (DSO).

Healthcare EHR Consulting FAQs
What does an EHR consulting firm do?
EHR consulting firms provide support for healthcare organizations that require assistance with their EHR projects. This can range from helping healthcare organizations choose the right vendor for their needs to implementing, optimizing, and integrating the application of choice and providing upgrades when the time comes. EHR consulting companies can also deliver training, data cleaning and migration, project management, go-live and post-go-live support, and other related services.
HealthTECH Resources has a deep and wide network of EHR consultants with specialties that cover the spectrum of projects, and we augment in-house teams with experts who can nimbly fill in staffing gaps and provide professional support. By partnering with us, you can strategically solve challenges and benefit more completely from the technology you’ve chosen.
As EHR technologies continue to evolve and improve, we’ll continue to keep our eye on advancements. By maintaining our focus on this niche aspect of the healthcare technological industry, we can continue to provide cutting-edge services. When you’re in need of EHR consultants, we’ll carefully listen to your goals and challenges along with your timeline and budget. We can help you analyze your needs and then provide you with professionals with precisely the right skill sets.
What are the benefits of hiring an EHR consultant for your practice?
EHR consulting professionals focus on targeted aspects of healthcare technology, whether that’s specific EHR brands or particular areas of expertise, such as implementation or training, so that you can benefit from their niche expertise. Contrast that with your in-house IT teams that take on a broad range of technical tasks and who, therefore, need a wide range of skill sets to fulfill those requirements for your healthcare organization, and you can see the difference.
When you partner with us, you can count on consultants with cutting-edge knowledge and a focus on continual learning and adaptation. Our professionals can provide your healthcare organization with specialized insights it needs to maximize its EHR technology in ways that dovetail with organization-specific workflows and processes. They bring with them the experience needed for the specific tasks they’ll perform for your organization. Contrast that with in-house professionals with broad expertise; they may never have implemented a new EHR software, for example, or perhaps only done it once. Our EHR consulting professionals can provide you with ongoing support, too, whether that’s for your IT team after the application goes live or directly to your end users.
How do EHR consulting firms help with system implementation?
After a healthcare organization has selected an EHR vendor, experts from EHR consulting companies can support the in-house team by deploying the software. To appropriately tailor the application, EHR consultants can work alongside your organization to clarify workflows and ensure that the software is implemented in ways that dovetail with them. This process involves gathering inputs from a range of end users to ensure an optimal setup. As part of this, experts can capture process documentation so that end users can be effectively trained in using the new software, fine-tune the implementation based on feedback received, craft workarounds as required, ensure that the setup allows for ease of compliance, and otherwise maximize the value of the EHR software. EHR consulting firms can provide project managers to ensure that the implementation occurs on time and within budget, as well as change management experts, who can smooth over the transition and encourage engagement with the new system. After the application goes live, EHR consultants can continue to work with the healthcare organization to provide ongoing training (perhaps to new employees or those promoted to new roles) and support.
What should I look for in an EHR consulting company?
As you create your list of EHR consulting companies to consider for your healthcare organization, ensure that they specialize in EHR services. All too often, staffing firms offer support to a broad range of industries without necessarily having in-depth specialization in any of them. Make sure, too, that they offer the specific services you need: perhaps data cleaning and migration is particularly needed and your organization also needs assistance in revenue cycle management. Double-check that the EHR consulting companies on your list have significant amounts of relevant experience in the field.
Now that you’ve compiled this list (perhaps in part through recommendations from colleagues), you’ll want to go deeper to ensure that the EHR consulting firms maintain deep networks of quality professionals and can provide you with the staff augmentation you need in a reasonable timeframe. As you speak to representatives from the EHR consulting companies, pay attention to how closely they listen to you and speak directly to you about your concerns. You’ll want a company that values you, your organization, and your time. We can promise that HealthTECH Resources will professionally provide all of the above.
How can EHR consultants optimize existing electronic health records systems?
Many EHR consulting companies focus solely on the technical aspects of optimization. In contrast, with HealthTECH Resources, this is one of two important aspects. First, technically speaking, our EHR consultants can help you to customize your software, configuring it precisely for your specific requirements. We consider what you’ll need today and what’s likely to be needed in the future as regulations and technologies evolve and, potentially, as your organization grows. We don’t stop there, though, which makes us stand out from other EHR consulting firms. We also take the healthcare organization itself into account, optimizing the EHR application to dovetail with requirements and workflows, ensuring that the systems are structured in a way to allow for maximum benefit while operating efficiently and cost effectively for more rapid realization of ROI.
What is the difference between an EHR and EMR, and how do consulting firms address both?
These terms are often used interchangeably, although they aren’t, technically speaking, the same thing. Electronic medical records (EMRs) are digital versions of paper records traditionally found within a medical practitioner’s office, whereas electronic health records (EHRs) are more robust. They are designed to connect healthcare providers, including physicians, laboratories, hospitals, and specialists, so that a single patient’s records contains data from all of the clinicians involved in their care. As far as whether EHR consulting companies will address both, we can only speak for ourselves — and the answer is yes. We have experienced EHR and EMR consultants alike in our deep and wide professional network. And, unlike many EHR and EMR consulting firms, we also augment staffing for legacy applications.
What are the most common challenges EHR consultants help healthcare facilities overcome?
First, EHR consultants can help healthcare organizations prioritize their needs so they choose the right application. They can gather inputs from a range of key stakeholders to assist with this process. Then, once the application is chosen, there are often technical challenges to address during the implementation stage, optimization processes to dovetail with unique workflows, and integration steps to allow the new EHR to seamlessly work with other healthcare technology — and these processes are often ones that in-house IT teams have never or rarely addressed. Using EHR consulting firms to fill in staffing gaps means that you’ll have a team that can manage the implementation and operation of the application from start to finish — doing so in ways that consider compliance requirements. EHR consulting experts can help with data migration, process documentation, end-user trainings, go-live processes, post-live support, and much more. HealthTECH Resource also has experienced project managers, change management experts, and other niche specialists to ensure that you have the staff augmentation you need when you need it and for as long as you require.
Can an EHR consulting firm assist with data migration during a system switch?
Absolutely! We have EMR consultants who can oversee and handle data migration from an EMR system to an EHR one, as well as from one EHR brand to another. In each case, our experts can carefully and accurately clean data and transform it into the format recognized by your new system. The EMR consultants/EHR consultants can remove duplicates, archive data that requires that treatment, and transition data that’s still needed to your new EHR system.
Data migration is never a cookie-cutter process, so our EMR consultants/EHR consultants will carefully examine your existing data formats and assess any challenges associated with migration. Then, they’ll develop a personalized plan to migrate data according to your individual goals and needs.
