How to Switch to a New EMR with Confidence

Changing to a new EMR can be a real challenge for urgent care providers. The struggle begins with choosing the right solution and a partner that understands your objectives. We’ve helped lots of on-demand clinics make the switch. And because we know how difficult it can be, we’ve created a vault of resources to help healthcare clinics through the process.

Whether you choose us as your partner, or someone else, our processes and Fearless toolkits can help you face your fears about adopting and implementing a new EMR—from discovery to launch.

1. Discovery

You know your EMR isn’t perfect, and you would love to use a solution that’s a better fit for your on-demand healthcare business. Use the resources in our Discovery Toolkit to assess whether it’s time to switch, or just make a few changes. This kit includes an EMR software assessment, staff survey, 50 questions to ask prospective vendors, and tips about approaching decision makers about making a change.

2. Evaluation

Once you’ve determined it’s time to make a change, it’s hard to decide what EMR solution is right for you. It all starts with a good look at the technology your using, and understanding the problems your EMR should solve for. The Evaluation Toolkit will help, with resources to assess current bottlenecks that affect your workflow, top KPIs you should measure, and an ROI calculator to determine which solutions will best help you get where you want to go.

3. Countdown

After you’ve chosen the urgent care solution and services that are right for you, putting it in place while keeping your business running smoothly depends on planning and getting your team on board. Our Countdown Toolkitcontains practical resources that can help you lay the foundation for a smooth switch. This kit includes a three-step planning process, training resource pack, a documentation checklist and tips for getting your staff behind you.

As a leader that provides technology solutions for on-demand healthcare, we know changing to a new EMR is a big decision, and a big challenge. But because we’ve done it – a lot – we know what’s going to happen along the way. We know you want a realistic plan and there are a lot of new things to learn. We understand that not everyone will be on board. We also know, it doesn’t have to be as hard as you think.

As on-demand care grows across the country, clinics no longer need to work with—or around—software that doesn’t fit. Of course we want you to consider DocuTAP when you decide it’s time for a change. But even if you don’t, we hope our toolkits can help you get to the other side of the challenge. It’s good for you, and it’s good for urgent care.
