Implementing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) is not a single project with a clear “beginning” and an “end.” An EHR implementation is a journey… a staging or phasing of systems, processes, and people that change the operations and relationships among all staff, physicians, patients, insurers, and other business partners, over a number of years.
