Multispecialty practices typically have a more diverse patient population and offer a broader range of clinical services than other medical practices. As a result, the EHR system needs to be customized to meet the specific needs of each specialty within the practice. Here is an example to illustrate the EHR implementation strategy for a multispecialty medical practice: Let's say the multispecialty medical practice includes four different specialties: cardiology, dermatology, pediatrics, and internal medicine. Each specialty has unique clinical workflows and documentation requirements, which need to be taken into account during EHR implementation. Needs assessment: The vendor works with the practice to identify the unique needs of each specialty. For example, the cardiology specialty requires templates and forms for cardiology-specific documentation, such as EKGs and stress tests. The dermatology specialty requires templates and forms for dermatology-specific documentation, such as skin exams and biopsies. Coordination among specialties: The technology provider works with the practice to coordinate EHR implementation across all specialties. A project manager or team lead is identified to coordinate between specialties and with the vendor. Customization: The vendor customizes the EHR system for each specialty. For example, the cardiology specialty may require customized order sets for cardiac procedures, while the dermatology specialty may require customized templates for documenting skin conditions. Data migration: The EHR platform provider works with the practice to migrate data from any existing systems or paper records into the new EHR system. EHR Data is migrated separately for each specialty to ensure that the unique data requirements of each specialty are met. Staff training: The vendor provides staff training for each specialty, focusing on the specific features and functionality needed. For example, the pediatrics specialty may require training on immunization schedules and growth charts, while the internal medicine specialty may require training on chronic disease management. Go-live support: The vendor provides support during the initial go-live period for each specialty, ensuring that the EHR system is functioning properly and that staff is able to use it effectively. The vendor also provides additional support for specialties with more complex workflows or documentation requirements. Ongoing support: The vendor provides ongoing support and maintenance for the EHR system, including software updates, bug fixes, and technical support. The vendor also provides additional support for specialties with unique needs or requirements, such as the cardiology specialty's need for frequent updates to order sets.
