The national impact of an employee shortage is being felt as demand for physical and mental healthcare services outstrips supply. After spending much of the pandemic innovating new ways to keep staff engaged, many practices are now being served termination notices from core team members.

Implementing an EHR and practice management system is a substantial commitment that involves a lot of work and potentially a lot of changes for everyone in your pediatric practice.

What happens when a practice decides to work with an electronic health record they’ve never used before? As you can imagine, the lift is neither a simple or easy one, and it takes special people with unique skills to help that along.

Everybody needs education, and that may be doubly true when it comes to your pediatric EHR. To put it simply: education is power. Power to do your job more effectively. Power to contribute and make decisions. Power to be able to use the software competently — and by doing so, to provide better patient care. 

Electronic health record software is consistently updated in order to adjust to the ever-changing and dynamic healthcare and technology worlds. That’s why training must be seen as a consistent commitment, not a one-and-done effort.
