How Do Partners Support Onboarding of Healthcare Providers?
Accelerate safe adoption across clinics and hospitals. Orchestrate contracting, credentialing, data integration, workflow build, training, and go-live support so providers reach first-patient use quickly and compliantly.
Quick Answer
Partners onboard healthcare providers by coordinating commercial & compliance setup (contracts, credentialing, BAAs), clinical workflow build (EHR order sets, pathways, forms), data & device integration (interfaces, connectivity), and role-based education with go-live coverage. Success is measured by time-to-first-patient, activation rate, order/adoption rate, support ticket volume, safety incidents, and provider NPS.
What’s Different About HCP Onboarding?
HCP Onboarding Playbook
A practical sequence to move providers from signed contract to confident, compliant first-patient use.
Align → Contract → Credential → Build → Train → Go-Live → Support → Optimize → Govern
- Align & plan: Define clinical use cases, sites, milestones, risks, and KPIs; stand up a joint steering cadence.
- Contract & compliance: Execute MSA/SOW, BAA/DPA, pricing, data-sharing terms, and security questionnaires.
- Credential & provision: Complete facility vendor rep onboarding; set least-privilege access and SSO.
- Build workflows & data: Configure EHR order sets/templates, mapping, routing; establish HL7/FHIR, device, and analytics feeds.
- Train & certify roles: Provide role-based paths with simulations and proctored checkoffs; designate super-users.
- Go-live coverage: Staff floor support, huddles, hypercare hours, and escalation trees; capture issues in a tracker.
- Support & optimize: Monitor adoption and incidents; tune order sets, fix defects, update tip sheets and content.
- Govern & report: Maintain versioned materials, audit trails, and quarterly business reviews on KPIs and safety.
