Keys to Successful Implementation

Keys to Successful Implementation

The more prepared your staff is on the System, the smoother your Go-Live day will be.

Dedicate Time

  • Create an environment that is conducive for all trainees to learn the PM.
  • Make time to attend scheduled web-training.
  • Join the sessions a few minutes early.
  • Conduct policy and procedure internal meetings.
  • Make sure you are uninterrupted by phone calls, text, social media applications, meetings, or Patient contact. Interruptions negatively impact the continuity of training.

Internal Training

  • We recommend you and your team make time to conduct internal training sessions. We find this makes for a smooth Go-Live transition and helps your team present questions about workflow in-house.
  • Our Training Sessions are built around the concept of "Train the Trainer".
  • Our Implementation Managers train key staff members, typically subject matter experts, to become trainers themselves.
  • In-office training becomes the responsibility of the Project Champion to provide on-going training to their office staff.
  • Invite the Users who will be responsible for the tasks included in the training session.
  • Users who cannot attend the session can watch a recording of the session.
  • Prepare by identifying workflows and responsibilities.
  • For organizing internal training, determine who is responsible for the different tasks in your office.
  • There is a Test Database that you can use prior to Go-Live.


Front Desk Training

  • Role playing is an effective way to train the front desk staff.
  • The front desk processes should not be new to the staff on Go-Live day.
  • Prior to the Go-Live date, Users should conduct practice sessions of the check-in, copay, scanning, and check-out processes using the test database; these steps can be practiced with co-workers.
  • All test data will be erased before Go-Live.

Prepare

  • Assign an internal Project Manager as the main contact for the Implementation Consultant. 
  • The Project Manager will assign internal training and assess the progress of your group.
  • The Project Manager is responsible for completing Insurance enrollments and statement set up.
  • For questions between training sessions, use the Help Center for PDF documentation and to watch videos.
  • Use the tool tips in your system which are designated by question marks and Show Me How.
  • Use the system before going live to create Libraries, register a Patient, and other standard tasks.
  • Do the assigned homework.
  • Consider reducing the number of scheduled Patients on Go-Live day.

Enrollments

  • Complete and return your Insurance Claims and Statement Enrollments at least six weeks before Go-Live. 
  • Be aware that ERA and Claims Enrollment may be separate. 
  • Follow the instructions sent to you in your Enrollment Packet because instructions may differ by payer.
