An electronic health record (EHR)
implementation plan is a comprehensive set of strategies and steps used by a health care
organization when preparing for and executing the adoption of an electronic-based health care
system.
The format and content of an EHR implementation plan will vary depending upon the expectations
and needs of the organization, but it most usually incorporates information about software and
hardware updates, expected time frames, chosen methods of training accompanying the adoption, cost
estimates, distribution of labor and responsibilities and workflow changes, among other
factors. The goal is to provide a specific and organized plan of attack in order to account
for the many decisions and factors that contribute to an EHR upgrade.
