Physicians EHR certified implementation consultants can guide you through the entire implementation of your EHR and PMS. Our implementation processes are the substance of AMA's NEW Technical and Financial Guide to EHR Implementation.
You will easily recoup the fee in savings on hardware and software purchases as well as a smooth, efficient implementation.
With this service, a professional consultant will manage the EHR rollout over a period of several months, depending on the size of the medical practice or hospital. Practices typically take 4 to 6 months to implement an EHR or PMS system.
Rather than hire a full-time project manager or IT professional, our consultatants will work part-time, investing time when needed to move the implementation project along. This saves you the cost of full-time staff.
For group practices, IPAs, and hospitals (with affiliated medical practices) reduced fees are negotiated based on the number of practices.
