The #1 staffing mistake healthcare organizations make before a major EHR go-live:
Starting the search too late.
Here's the timeline we see repeatedly:
📋 Month 1: Project approved. Internal team assigned to handle staffing.
📋 Month 3: Internal team is at capacity. Staffing conversations deprioritized.
📋 Month 6 (8 weeks before go-live): Urgent call to staffing firms. Best consultants are already committed.
📋 Go-Live Week: Understaffed activation. Preventable issues cascade.
The fix is simple: start staffing conversations at project kickoff—not at the 2-month mark.
The most experienced Healthcare IT consultants plan their engagements 3-6 months in advance. If your project is on the roadmap for Q3 or Q4 2026, we should be talking today.
