Mergers and Acquisitions

Early Planning Leads to IT Integration Success

Many healthcare organizations don’t plan for IT integration early enough in the merger or acquisition process, which can lead to unrealistic timelines, security gaps and clinician burnout. To ensure success, health IT leaders need to be involved in integration discussions early and through every step of the process.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Strategize with Experts

Merging or acquiring a healthcare organization requires intricate planning and technological acumen. Experts can help organizations create a smart IT integration strategy with the right solutions to ensure a smooth transition.

Combining two healthcare organizations involves more than an assessment of staffing and finances. It also involves the potential integration of patient data from electronic health records, which must be protected.

Health IT systems integration is an important aspect of any merger or acquisition, but many organizations don’t consider its impact early enough, costing time and money. Understanding the systems both organizations have in place and involving all stakeholders in the migration strategy and planning process early on can lead to a successful IT integration.
