Switching to a new electronic health record (EHR) system is a major undertaking for any healthcare organization. Adopting athenahealth offers opportunities to enhance operations, elevate patient care, and optimize revenue cycle management—but successful implementation requires more than just new technology.

Our program managers will ensure that all aspects of the implementation are carefully monitored, ensuring deadlines are met and that there is a clear line of communication throughout the process.

2. Go-Live Support: Onsite and Virtual Assistance

It’s when all the preparation, training, and testing come to fruition, and the system must be fully operational for patient care. To ensure that your team is fully supported during this transition, Ignite provides both onsite and virtual go-live support. 

Our team can be present at your practice, helping staff members adjust to the new system, answering questions in real-time, and troubleshooting issues as they arise. For organizations that prefer remote support, we can provide virtual assistance, offering guidance and ensuring that the team stays on track even if we're not physically onsite. Our goal is to make sure your practice is confident and ready to use athenahealth effectively from day one.

The plan includes detailed task assignments, milestones, and risk management strategies, ensuring that every step of the transition is carefully outlined and managed. It can be hosted in either Ignite Healthcare Solutions’ own Monday.com instance or your preferred project management software, depending on your organization’s needs.
