EHR implementation readiness
A clinical view of whether the organization is prepared for a transition: decisions made, workflows understood, physicians engaged, and risks identified.
EHR Modernization & Optimization
An EHR is only as good as the clinical workflows built into it
Physician-led guidance for organizations preparing for an EHR transition, working through one, or seeking more from the system already in place.
The clinical perspective
Modernization is a clinical project with a technical component
An electronic health record shapes nearly every minute of a clinician’s day. When its workflows match how care is delivered, it recedes into the background. When they do not, the cost appears as longer days, workarounds, and frustration.
Dr. Benperlas brings the perspective of a board-certified internist who uses these systems and a Chief Health Informatics Officer who has led their modernization and optimization. He works with clinical leaders and implementation teams to keep clinical practice at the center of design, training, and governance decisions.
His experience includes both Epic and Oracle Health/Cerner environments.
