Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementations are major undertakings for healthcare organizations. One of the most effective, yet often underutilized, ways to ensure success is by investing in personalization labs before go-live. These labs help align clinical workflows with provider preferences, delivering both short-term wins and long-term returns.
Aligning Workflows Before It Matters Most
Personalization labs offer a hands-on environment where clinicians can customize their EHR experience before the system goes live. This preemptive alignment empowers providers to tailor their interfaces, order sets, documentation tools, and workflows in ways that match how they practice medicine. Rather than forcing users to adapt to a rigid system, the system adapts to them.
Driving User Satisfaction and Faster Adoption
When clinicians feel that their tools are configured with their needs in mind, satisfaction soars. Personalization labs help build early buy-in, reduce resistance to change, and speed up EHR adoption across the enterprise. By reducing frustration and friction, healthcare organizations can significantly lower the volume of support requests following go-live.
A Strong Case for ROI
Beyond improved morale and smoother transitions, personalization labs deliver a measurable return on investment. Streamlined workflows cut down on training time, allow clinicians to spend more time with patients, and increase overall efficiency. Fewer help desk tickets, shorter learning curves, and reduced downtime all contribute to faster operational readiness.
Enterprise-Wide Scalability
Scalability is essential in large or multi-site healthcare systems. The strategies used in personalization labs can be replicated and standardized across departments and locations, ensuring consistent care experiences without sacrificing individual provider preferences. With the right frameworks in place, organizations can operationalize personalization at scale.

Real-world implementations have demonstrated that personalization labs directly correlate with improved clinical adoption and satisfaction. Organizations that invest in this preparatory step report smoother go-lives, stronger provider engagement, and better patient outcomes.
