Transitioning EMRs can either be the upgrade that unlocks your practice’s next level—or the operational nightmare that drains cash, kills productivity, and torpedoes patient experience. In this hard-hitting episode of Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Siegel demolishes the “4–6 week” implementation myth and lays out a battle-tested roadmap: a realistic 3–6 month (often 9–12 month end-to-end) plan, a 90-day parallel run, airtight data migration (HL7/FHIR/CCD/CCDA), and surgical timing for EDI/ERA so revenue doesn’t evaporate mid-switch. You’ll learn how to map workflows, choose features that matter (not “massaging seats”), set KPIs, avoid AI-driven compliance traps, stage go-lives during low-volume windows, and build a true stakeholder taskforce (project lead, super users, vendor coordination) with downtime contingencies and HIPAA-grade security. If you’re changing EMRs in 2025–2026, this is your no-BS playbook to protect cash flow, staff, and patients—while actually improving care.
