Love your EHR
Do you have the right EHR? Is your EHR supporting your clinical workflow? EHRs are vital for post-acute and behavioral health organizations, but getting it right is a tall task. Our process ensures that you have the system your staff and consumers deserve.
There isn’t one, right system that fits every behavioral health or post-acute organization. SimiTree has an industry-leading selection process that ensures you find the right vendor to support all of your organizational goals and workflow needs. Our vendor independence also means that our only objective is to find you the right system without any potential conflicts of interest along the way.
Implementing an EHR is one of the most costly, challenging projects a healthcare organization will ever undertake. Oftentimes, the complexity of these projects can lead to a focus on getting the project done instead of getting it done right.
SimiTree’s EHR consulting services utilize a proven structure for managing implementations. Our consultants have extensive expertise in EHR vendor systems, workflow improvement, form consolidation, and end-user adoption. Our experts can provide consulting support in the following areas:
- System architecture and project management
- Clinical and financial best-practice implementation
- Data analytics/reporting
- Data conversion
Within the ever-changing behavioral health and post-acute landscapes, there is a new challenge around every bend. Most organizations don’t have the time or resources to ensure their EHR is keeping up. SimiTree developed the EHR Refresh so that our solution and process improvement experts can ensure that your EHR is set up to properly support your organizational goals and service delivery initiatives. Leveraging insights from your data, our experts can help identify opportunities for improvement in your base system configuration, billing setup, revenue cycle process, and clinical performance. Our approach is a five-phase process:
- Define the executive vision and goals
- Deliver optimization and insights through data/analysis

- Execute optimization initiatives
Our solution ranges from a comprehensive EHR Refresh to packages that target specific functions of your system. Examples of these include:

What makes SimiTree different?
We listen to clients. SimiTree EHR consulting services experts evaluate each client’s workflow and processes to customize and provide efficient solutions and services that make a difference.
We’re completely independent. Because SimiTree is not affiliated with any software companies, priorities are entirely based on a client’s best interests, along with providing objective evaluation, recommendations, and support.
We’re experts at what we do. EHRs contain a slew of data — all essential to operational and patient experience. They may include demographics, medical history, medication and allergy information, immunization status, radiology images, vital signs, personal information, such as age and weight, as well as billing information. Our experts are trained in all software.
We get results. You can count on our experts to increase resource capacity, improve workforce productivity, and connect your healthcare data across channels to improve your overall workflow — with a refreshed, overall process of efficiency and togetherness trickling down to patient experience.
