Health IT tip of the day: Don't let 'go-live' excitement overshadow subsequent learning curves

However, the days following the "go-live" are some of the most crucial for troubleshooting health IT and can be invaluable for identifying weaknesses in both infrastructure and usage.

Have a plan in place to conduct a post-implementation assessment that is geared towards identifying not only software hiccups, but frustrations and hitches for the end-user.
