The process of implementing an electronic medical record (EMR) can be challenging for any medical group, in part because it’s about more than just IT. For example, resources need to be assigned to ensure that staff members have appropriate roles. One EMR provider, gloStream, achieves this with its innovative gloDNA process.
Managing a major IT change such as an EMR implementation requires office staff to play critical roles in managing the change, and staff members who don’t understand work flows or who are overextended from handling their normal full-time responsibilities can derail the process.
When implementing an EMR, medical practices need expertise from outside the organization—in essence, a vendor that is committed to understanding the practice, planning the implementation accordingly, and providing support 24/7 during the transition.
That’s why gloStream offers gloDNA, which helps gloStream to understand the needs of a practice so gloEMR can be configured the way the individual doctors practice medicine. During this process, gloStream reviews the practice’s needs in order to build a customized solution and recommend process changes that help smooth the transition to a digital environment. gloStream then follows through with a wellness phase designed to make sure clients continue to be truly meaningful users.
EMR implementation is no time to skimp on planning or resources, so choose your vendor carefully. An experienced vendor—such as gloStream—will be more than a trusted resource; it will be a reassuring presence within your practice during a naturally stressful time.
