OUR ROLE

Maimonides Medical Center in New York City is at a crossroads in terms of its core clinical systems. Allscripts has been the inpatient clinical information system for more than a decade and Cerner Eagle is the legacy patient accounting system. As of 2024 Eagle was no longer supported by the vendor and a new hospital billing system was be required. NextGen supports the ambulatory clinical patient record and physician billing. MMC desired to replace its core information systems for one that is integrated across the continuum of care.
the challenge
MMC required the services of an experienced and objective advisory firm to work with its leadership team to utilize a proven vendor selection process for an integrated acute care and ambulatory EHR solution to support its hospitals and physician practices.
the solution
Upon engaging for the Enterprise PACS Implementation project the following was conducted:
- Development of the project charter and site implementation sequencing
- Negotiation with GE Healthcare for implementation timing and processes
- Developed the site implementation plans and coordinated with IHT site managers
- Drafted implementation and integration requirements with Epic and PowerScribe for voice recognition/digital dictation
- Managed the implementation process and GE Healthcare resources for each site
- Coordinated training for the Radiologists and clinical users
the results
As a result of our assistance and in less than three months Maimonides Medical Center was able to :
- Understand Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for implementation of a new EHR system
- Expose over 200 clinical and revenue cycle leadership to the capabilities of the qualified EHR vendors
- Narrow the field of EHR systems for future selection of a vendor of choice
