With more than 250 successful system launches behind them, healthcare management consulting firm Beacon Partners, Inc. today announced their Go-Live Success Services to help healthcare organizations who are in the process of implementing EHR in accordance with the ARRA.
"A successful Go-Live is absolutely essential to comprehensive clinical transformation," says Ralph P. Fargnoli, Jr., president and CEO of Beacon Partners. "And this is all the more important as the healthcare community is converting to an EHR-based system as they strive to get the most ARRA incentives."
We`ve seen it all too often when everything is done so well up to a point in the
implementation process, but then there`s no importance placed on the Go-Live process, and the result is often one of frustration and ultimately a failed
implementation."
Beacon Partners has successfully helped leading organizations in the Go-Live process such as Sansum Clinic, Novant Medical Group, White River Medical Center and Premier Health Partners.
