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.

  1. Clinic Go-Live Checklist
  2. Admin Go-Live Checklist

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. 
  • Prepare by identifying workflows and responsibilities.
  • For organizing internal training, determine who is responsible for the different tasks in your office.

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.
