HMS projects fail when hospitals view software as an IT project rather than a clinical and operational transformation.
1. Scope Creep Without Clear Milestones
Requesting custom modifications mid-implementation delays launch timelines. Stick to core modules first before introducing advanced features.
2. Importing Dirty Historical Data
Importing un-cleansed patient profiles leads to duplicate records. Clean drug master lists and patient files prior to database upload.
3. Ignoring Physician Workflow Needs
Ensure senior doctors participate early in EMR screen design to guarantee fast single-click prescription and diagnostic ordering.
