The healthcare technology landscape is loud, the vendor sales process is aggressive, and most practices end up with EHRs they don’t love because the decision got made under deadline pressure. PPS does vendor-independent medical technology consulting: EHR selection, practice management software, clearinghouse, telehealth platforms, patient communication tools, and the integrations between them. We don’t take referral fees from vendors, so the recommendation is genuinely the one we’d make for our own practice.
What’s included
- Needs analysis — what you actually need vs. what the vendor demos make you think you need.
- Vendor shortlist — 3-4 viable options for your specialty, size, and budget.
- Demo coordination — including the specific scenarios you should ask vendors to demo (not the vendor’s canned demo).
- Contract review — vendor contracts have escape clauses, data-portability terms, and price-escalation language worth reading carefully.
- Implementation planning — realistic timeline, internal resourcing, training plan.
- Implementation oversight during the rollout.
- Post-go-live optimization — most EHRs have a 30-60 day window where workflow tuning matters.
How it works
Weeks 1-2. Needs analysis and current-state inventory.
Weeks 3-4. Vendor shortlist and demo coordination.
Weeks 5-7. Demos, reference calls, contract review.
Weeks 7-8. Decision and contract signature.
Months 2-6. Implementation oversight.
Who this is for
- New practices selecting EHR for the first time.
- Established practices replacing an EHR (the hardest of these projects).
- Practices going telehealth and needing a telehealth platform that integrates with their existing EHR.
- Multi-location practices needing to consolidate disparate technology stacks.
What we’ll tell you honestly
EHR replacements are 6-12 month projects that disrupt clinical workflow for the entire duration. If your current EHR is bad but functional, the math often favors staying and optimizing. We’ll tell you that on the scope call if it applies.
