500-Bed Hospital: Full HMS Deployment

How a 500-bed hospital replaced a 14-year-old legacy system with a new HMS.

Get Started

About the Project

Replacing a hospital's core system touches every department, and every decision lands on patient care.

Industry

Healthcare / Acute-Care Hospital

A regional acute-care hospital replacing the core system every department runs on.

  • Acute Care
  • Regional Hospital
  • Legacy Replacement
Business Type

500-Bed Regional Hospital

A 14-year-old legacy platform with no active vendor development and mounting technical debt.

  • 500 Beds
  • All Departments
  • Board-Level Mandate
Core Offering

Full Hospital Management System Deployment

Registration, orders, nursing, pharmacy, lab, radiology, OR scheduling and billing in one cutover.

  • Registration & Beds
  • Physician Order Entry
  • Pharmacy & Lab
  • OR Scheduling
Implementation Approach

One big-bang go-live, not a phased rollout

180 super users and a 24-hour command centre carried the hospital through the first two weeks.

  • 180 Super Users
  • 24-Hour Command Center
  • Dress Rehearsals
  • Legacy Decommissioned
Results

Stable by Month Three, Workarounds Gone by Six

FHIR patient access passed ONC certification with zero information-blocking deficiencies.

  • 26 Months to Go-Live
  • ONC Certified
  • Zero Deficiencies

The Starting Point: A 14-Year Legacy

Why a 14-year-old legacy system had become too risky to keep.

14 Years
The hospital ran a 14-year-old legacy information system that had served its purpose but accumulated significant technical debt, no longer received active vendor development, and could not meet the interoperability requirements of its payer and regulatory environment.
Cures Act
The inability to implement FHIR-based patient data access required under the 21st Century Cures Act had become a compliance risk the board and executive leadership flagged for resolution.
Workarounds
Beyond the regulatory driver, staff had built years of workarounds — manual processes, shadow spreadsheets, and integration gaps with radiology, lab, and pharmacy systems the new platform had to eliminate.

Replace the legacy system.
Eliminate the workarounds.
Go live without losing control.

The Implementation Approach

  • Big-Bang Go-Live

    Big-Bang Go-Live

    Big-Bang Go-Live

    • Big-bang go-live chosen over a phased rollout
    • No parallel systems, no data-sync problems
    • Legacy system decommissioned at go-live
  • Super-User Model for Training

    Super-User Model for Training

    Super-User Model for Training

    • 180 super users across all clinical departments
    • Chosen for peer respect, tech comfort, availability
    • Expertise spread through credible internal champions
  • Command Center Operations

    Command Center Operations

    Command Center Operations

    • 24-hour command center for two weeks post go-live
    • Issues triaged live: system errors vs workflow questions
    • Super users resolved ~65% of first-48-hour issues
  • Timeline & Preparation

    Timeline & Preparation

    Timeline & Preparation

    • 26 months approval to go-live: 6 select, 18 build, 2 prep
    • Final phase: rehearsals, config validation, training
    • 24–30 months is typical; compressing hurts go-live
  • Post-Go-Live Stabilisation

    Post-Go-Live Stabilisation

    Post-Go-Live Stabilisation

    • Command center wound down into a standing support queue
    • Workflow fixes came before config rewrites for six weeks
    • Adoption and error rates reviewed weekly with department leads

The Challenges Encountered
