If your hospital currently operates MAGIC or C/S, or you're considering MEDITECH as a Service (MaaS), you’ll want to be sure you understand the significant upfront planning necessary for end-users to love your new EHR once it’s installed. During this presentation, consultants Lisa Steen and Naomi Smith will share their experiences, identify specific steps you should take to prepare for a successful MaaS implementation, and provide numerous recommendations for how clinical and financial areas can succeed. Anyone at an organization moving (or thinking about moving) to MaaS will find this session beneficial, including IT, clinical staff, and financial staff.
