Mergers and acquisitions in healthcare are happening at record levels, creating new opportunities for growth, scale, and improved patient care. Yet one of the most complex and often underestimated challenges is EHR implementation post-M&A. Successfully integrating EHR systems isn’t just about moving data; it’s about aligning cultures, workflows, and clinical processes while ensuring business continuity.
In this episode of This Week Health, host Bill Russell speaks with Amirah Centinario, EVP of EHR Services at Optimum Healthcare IT, about how to turn EHR implementation into a strategic advantage rather than a roadblock.
Amirah shares real-world strategies for:
- Assessing current systems and defining your future state
- Building realistic timelines for integration
- Driving change management that actually sticks
- Making smart calls on third-party apps
- Ensuring optimizations deliver lasting value
Whether you’re a healthcare executive, CIO, or part of an IT or clinical team navigating a transition, this conversation provides actionable insights and proven frameworks to reduce risk, accelerate adoption, and maximize the value of your M&A investment.
