🚨 New from Healthcare IT Today — featuring Provation’s Executive Medical Director, Dr. Łukasz Kowalczyk.
When health systems consider consolidating IT under a single vendor, the promise is streamlined operations. But as Dr. Kowalczyk outlines in this powerful analysis, the real risk isn’t the technology—it’s the cost of change itself. He breaks down the strategic pitfalls CIOs face when moving away from purpose-built clinical documentation platforms, including:
🔹 The high failure rate of major IT change (only 32% succeed)
🔹 Provider adoption risk that’s often underestimated
🔹 Documentation variability as a driver of revenue leakage
🔹 Why image-note integration is a clinical + IT necessity
🔹 Structured data as the backbone of scalable, trustworthy AI
🔹 The brand and reputation risks tied to documentation quality
Dr. Kowalczyk brings the clinician’s perspective that CIOs, CMIOs, and digital transformation leaders need—because these decisions affect far more than IT. They touch physician trust, throughput, financial integrity, and long-term organizational performance.
💡 If you’re evaluating an EHR shift or consolidating documentation systems, this is essential reading.
