For over 40 years, MEDITECH Magic has been a reliable and cost-effective electronic patient record (EPR) system for healthcare organisations. However, Magic is now an ageing technology that increasingly poses challenges such as security risks, performance issues, and limited integration capabilities. It’s crucial for NHS Trust leaders to start planning for their next EPR technology.
Several factors are driving the need for an EPR platform change:
Be Realistic: Understand that even a well-planned EPR transition can take more than a year to complete. Rushing the process can jeopardise your organisation’s operations and lead to failure.
Seek Expert Guidance: An EPR implementation brings significant organisational change and impact to care operations. Given the breadth of an EPR decision, consider engaging a reputable firm to assist with the many phases of an EPR transition.
At CereCore International, we are EPR agnostic, offering IT services across all major EPR systems. Partner with us for end-to-end EPR advisory, data and infrastructure support. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare operations and EPR implementations, we have successfully guided numerous healthcare organisations in the UK and the US through their EPR transitions. Let’s talk!
"Working collaboratively with CereCore International has been instrumental in achieving a successful, on-time go-live for our new electronic patient record system. The expertise, knowledge, and swift support provided played a crucial role in delivering the program seamlessly."
| Matt Connor, Chief Information Officer at Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust
Cost Analysis: Modern EPR systems require increased computing power, servers, integration, and support. Obtain a comprehensive cost assessment from your EPR provider to understand the financial implications.
Strong project governance is essential to avoid delays and ensure that your EPR transition meets its objectives. Many leaders undertake large-scale EPR implementations only a few times in their careers, making thorough preparation and a clear, realistic budget crucial.
An EPR transition is a long-term commitment and will take longer than expected. Start your planning early to ensure a successful implementation and transition.
>> To facilitate stakeholder and cross-departmental engagement and decision-making, consider hosting an interactive EPR workshop with us. Our EPR and healthcare IT consultants have decades of experience leading successful projects and offer a range of dynamic, D&D-inspired workshops to help your team collaborate effectively and jump start your digital transformation efforts.
