System Implementation

For Providers

Cumberland helps clients achieve successful software implementations in a way that many software vendors can’t. We start with a deep understanding of the financial and clinical processes to be supported by the new application and configure the computer system to improve those processes.

Cumberland uses a proven methodology based on years of experience. We will work with your organization to tailor our approach to meet your needs. We work with you and the vendor to facilitate the design and validation, document decisions and maximize session results.

We understand that a major implementation project will not be successful if the project team attempts to accomplish the implementation “under the radar.” We engage managers, physicians and other key stakeholders early and keep them involved and informed with honest assessments of the impact of the project and frequent updates.

Our process integration approach continues during training and go-live support. In the planning and execution of training, we focus on how to use the new system to accomplish business and clinical objectives rather than the workings of Screen-A vs. Screen-B. We provide user guides, “cheat sheets” and other aids to supplement training and help orient new system users. We believe that go-live support occurs at the care site, not on the other end of a telephone.

Let’s talk about your implementation challenges. Cumberland has experience implementing many different types of software packages. We can assist you in all aspects of your implementation project from initial planning and contract negotiation to post go-live support and maintenance planning.
