Steps To Build an EHR System

1. Discovery & Research

   HIPAA-compliant agreements and understanding your unique compliance requirements (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA, etc.);

   In-depth market research and workflow analysis to ensure the EHR fits your practice;

   Crafting an EHR concept, along with a solid strategy and business case that forecasts costs and returns.

2. Project Planning

   Creating detailed requirements, including identifying essential features and building a software requirements specification (SRS);

   Outlining the tech stack, architecture, and integration points;

   Setting timelines, milestones, and KPIs to keep the project on track;

   Planning for EHR certification, like ONC or local compliance, based on your needs.

3. User-Centered Design

   Mapping out user journeys for doctors, nurses, admins, and more;

   Creating wireframes of the user experience and visual prototype of the interface to ensure everything works well from a usability perspective.

4. Development & Testing

   Back-end and front-end development, along with perfect integration of APIs for third-party tools.

   Extreme testing for functionality, performance, security, and compliance to ensure the system is bulletproof.

5. Preparation for Launch

   Finalizing documentation and compliance audits (HIPAA, GDPR);

   Assistance with FDA/ONC submittals and staff training materials.

6. Deployment & Ongoing Support

   Migrating data from your old system to the new EHR.

   Deploying the EHR system and providing ongoing maintenance and updates to keep it secure and user-friendly.

   Providing ongoing implementation support to improve the system according to feedback and audits.
