Virtual Rollout: The New Face of EHR Implementation

Remote EHR implementation became a necessity amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, causing providers and their technology vendors to work closely together and reimagine rollout.

When COVID-19 hit the United States in late January 2020, the healthcare industry had no idea the impact the virus would have on the entire system. Frontline healthcare workers were overwhelmed, working in the dark to treat a disease they did not fully understand.

Researchers scrambled to develop a test to identify COVID-19 and work towards an effective treatment while payers struggled to cover these services and understand the pandemic’s impact on future costs of care.
