Headlines in the home-based care industry are plentiful these days with news of M&A activity, and at Forcura, we are seeing that spike occur at our healthcare workflow management company. Already through the first two months of 2023, Forcura has helped its clients adjust to 16 M&A transitions involving almost as many EMR shifts.
Coincidentally, discussions we have with clients and experts in home-based care regarding best practices and strategies for the future invariably focus on adopting technology solutions and ensuring those solutions are used to their fullest potential. During a recent webinar hosted by Forcura and home-based care consulting firm Maxwell Healthcare Associates, panelists stressed the importance of getting employee buy-in when considering technology because the crucial workflow and care coordination efficiencies automated systems offer will only be realized with full user adoption.
With these concurrent trends, it is clear home-based care organizations need a concerted approach to technology transitions more than ever, but with time and staff at such a premium, how do they go about selecting and implementing a method?
Fear not, because the experience Forcura has developed as a technology partner to more than 800 clients nationwide is now available to you. Our white paper, Myths and Magic of Technology Change Management: How to Achieve Maximum ROI in Your Home-based Care Organization, offers simplified, practical advice on managing technology changes in your organization, dispelling common myths and demonstrating how your organization can get the ROI it needs sooner than later.
In one segment regarding communication, MJ Lewis, Manager of Professional Services at Forcura, says, “It’s all about intentionality. You’re not going to please everyone with a technology change, but we all want to at least feel acknowledged that leadership has considered the impact it will have on each of us and across teams. Communicating this prepares people for change, helps ease them into it, and that goes a long way toward establishing trust.”
This is one of many valuable insights shared as the white paper includes tips from our experts as well as use cases from three clients who have put change management practices into action to achieve optimal results from their technology solution.
Given the uncertain climate of healthcare and the home-based care sector, forecasters agree that optimizing the things your organization can control is paramount to success. Technology will play an increasing and ever-changing role in this endeavor, so don’t miss your opportunity today to learn how your agency can conjure the magic of change management and get the most out of its technology transitions.
