1. Dedicated Team: Establishing a dedicated team to manage the EHR migration process is essential to ensuring a successful transition. The team should include IT, clinical and administrative staff to ensure that all areas are addressed, and that the migration is properly coordinated. 
  2. System Readiness: Making sure that the EHR system, as well as any other related systems, are ready and configured correctly prior to the migration is essential. This includes testing all software, hardware and network components to ensure they are functioning properly, and that the system is secure. 
  3. Training: Providing proper training to staff on the new EHR system is important to ensure that the transition is smooth. This includes training on how to use the system, understanding changes in workflow, and understanding any new policies and procedures related to the system. 
  4. Data Migration: Developing a comprehensive data migration plan is essential to ensure that all data is moved from the old system to the new system accurately. This includes migrating patient demographic data, clinical data, financial data and any other data needed.
  5. Communication: Communication is key to a successful EHR migration. The team should create a communication plan to keep all stakeholders informed of progress, changes, and any issues that may arise.
