The belief that 8.3 will be sooooo much better and you will have happy providers singing your praises for giving them such a wonderful upgrade….

After all it is only an upgrade
We have all done this before
Facts about KBM 8.3

• There have been many defects corrected since the original 8.3
• NextGen has worked with client focus groups on usability Revisit your configurations and evaluate if changes will
help Consider additional training sessions
A Tale of Two Upgrades• Both large 100 + multispecialty
practices• Both upgrading from KBM
Version 8.1• Both heavily customized• That is where their similarities
end in the upgrade process
Practice A – Somewhere in the USA• Limited project planning• Determined to use KBM 8.3 out of the box• Only conducted the technical gap analysis with no
workflow gap analysis• Limited provider involvement• Conducted webinar training for all providers with
no requirement for attendance• No configuration other than what was mandatory
for go live with a plan to “get to this after go live”• No schedule reduction• No on site go live support
Practice A – Results• Chaotic go live with unhappy patients and
providers• Continuous loss of provider productivity• Missing data• Coding errors• And the planned configuration after go live
has been put on hold as they are too busy putting out fires
Practice B – IU Goshen • Dedicated project manger with a detailed project plan • Desired to move to “Out of the Box” • Conducted both technical and workflow gap analysis• Based on findings, conducted configuration when
warranted and customization to fill the gaps• Created specialty work groups• Conducted super user training • Enlisted provider champions• Trained, trained and trained again• Extensive go live support
IU Goshen - Results• Minimal productivity disruption at go live• Provider acceptance• Go Live resources reduced faster than
expected• A successful go live
IU Goshen’s Favorite 8.3 Features• Time Savers: New Toggling Functionality Capability of being able to see messages in the task basket
without opening it. Providers state that this saves some time when trying to quickly answer a few messages between patients and knowing which things can wait and which should be answered sooner

template customization needs) Health Promotion Plan Home Page Medical Chart Summary Save Functionality for Favorites available on more
