EHR Migration Journal

It’s common knowledge that migrating to a new EHR platform is one of the most complex and costly IT projects that a healthcare organization can embark upon. It involves broad and in-depth operational, financial and technology planning, support from experienced third-party experts, and a little good old-fashioned luck – to execute with some level of success.

As we’ve spoken to and consulted with many Keena clients making the decision to move to a new EHR/PM platform or contemplating such a move, we’re dedicating a focused series of informational bulletins designed to support provider organizations facing similar challenges. This is the first journal entry in this new series.
