Adler, MD, MMM  \nS  \nome electronic health record (EHR) implementations proceed on schedule with full involvement of their participants and achieve their goals. Others flounder, stall or  \nstruggle, experiencing only  \npartial success or, in  \nextreme cases, no success at all.  \nWhat accounts for the difference? Is  \nit a problem with the people, the process or the EHR product?  \nHow are large-practice implementations different than small-practice ones? How can you fortify yourself against failure and plan for success? Keep reading for some answers based on my review of available literature on the topic as well as my personal experience.(See a list of Dr. Adler’s prior FPM articles on EHR systems on page 37.)  \nThe three T’s  \nTeam. Tactics. Technology. I have organized the key dos and don’ts of implementation into these three categories. Team refers to people and organizational issues, tactics to specific techniques and choices made in design and setup, and technology to the software, hardware and network choices you will make. Many implementation issues are common to large and small practices alike. Yet large practices, perhaps due to their complexity, tend to suffer more from team issues, and small practices, perhaps due to their more  \nlimited resources and experience, tend to falter when it  \ncomes to technology issues. Any size practice can crash and burn when it comes to tactics.  \nTeam  \nEveryone in your  \npractice will  \nplay some role in  \nthe success or failure of your EHR implementation. Some roles will be bigger than others,  \nbut they all need to be acknowledged and understood from the start.  \nThree types of leaders. Study after study on EHR implementations reports the same thing: People are key, and leadership is one of the biggest issues. An EHR project needs three kinds of leaders: a physician champion (or two or three), a CEO and a skilled project manager. In a small practice, the physician champion and CEO may be the same person. That should help the implementation’s chance for success.  \nThe physician champion should be a respected clinician who is a good communicator and a tireless supporter of the project. He or she should bethe engine that motivates others. Physician champions are so important that one report stated,“Identify an EMR champion – or don’t implement.”1 The CEO and the rest of your practice’s senior management team should fully back the proj  \nect through thick and thin and help provide the needed resources. They should help clear the track of obstacles. ±  \nDownloaded from the Family Practice Management Web site [at www.aafp.org/fpm. Copyright](at www.aafp.org/fpm.

You don’t just pick it up the first day and expect to be a virtuoso.  \nYour EHR implementation has abetter chance for success if you organize it into three categories: team, tactics and technology.  \nStudies have found that a practice’s employees are key to an EHR implementation’s out  \ncome, with project managers playing a critical role.  \nEveryone involved with the new EHR will need to be open-minded about changing the way the practice operates.  \nThe project manager should not be just any available manager. Rather, he or she should be someone who is trained, skilled and experienced in managing complex information technology (IT) projects with overlapping timelines and multiple stakeholders. Ideally, the project manager will have managed an EHR implementation before. He or she will be the engineer that keeps the train on track a","cbCailMRq9rm7vDN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailMRq9rm7vDN","pdf",172659,7,"English","# The three T’s\n## Team\n## Tactics\n## Technology\n# Leadership and project management\n# Change management and stakeholder communication","[{\"question\":\"What are the three T’s for navigating an EHR implementation?\",\"answer\":\"The document organizes key implementation guidance into Team, Tactics, and Technology—covering people and organizational issues, specific design/setup choices, and software, hardware, and network decisions.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does leadership matter in EHR projects?\",\"answer\":\"People and leadership are described as some of the biggest issues.
