MEDITECH Systems Implementation and Go-Live Support
Pre-Implementation Planning
Jacobus MEDITECH experts make sure that implementation plans are carefully aligned with the core needs of process improvement, increased revenue and enhanced patient care. Our pre-implementation services include:
- Planning for single or multi-phased implementation
- Definition of costs, timelines and project budgets
- Development of detailed project plans and planning for resource requirements
- Identification of assumptions and risks, with documentation of expected outcomes
- Technology infrastructure planning, including network architecture, procurement, help desk support and desktop management
Conversions
Jacobus works closely with a provider’s business and IT leadership on strategic planning of the myriad of conversion options and issues. Our experts can build interfaces and mine existing systems, map data according to conversion specifications, professionally test and troubleshoot conversion uploads, and deliver successful results in a cost-effective and timely manner.
Common conversion extracts include:
- Master Patient Index (MPI)
- Transcribed data backfill to the EMR
- Demo Recall
- Accounts Receivable (AR) – full detail, balance forward, zero-dollar detail or manual
- Collection Notes (Comments)
- General Ledger
- Data Upload (scripts)
Implementation and Go-Live Support
We provide support for all facets of individual module and complete system implementations and provide project management, and entire implementation team or just subject matter experts to support the core teams. In all implementations, we go beyond the technical tasks of dictionary development and application testing to also align end-user requirements and processes. We leverage Jacobus workflow redesign expertise to drive to best-practice solutions.
Additionally, to drive continuous improvement Jacobus can optimize policy and procedures, redesign organizational structures and job descriptions, and develop process oriented MEDITECH training documentation for end users. We are adept at bringing MEDITECH systems, people and processes into close alignment. We take pride in a history of on-time and in-budget delivery, with a focus on:
- Maintaining alignment to the strategic plan
- Project planning, schedule, budget and resource development
- Design and build support, including integrated and parallel testing
- Knowledge transfer through education, training and documentation
- Go-Live support
