The HEAT EMR Change Management solution provides proven methodology and workflow that can manage and document these changes allowing the staff to quickly move through deployment phases without the interruptions of unplanned or unexpected outcomes.

The operations phase of the EMR system can improved by utilizing HEAT EMR Change Management solution to enforce adherence to compliance and security requirements by managing in-process changes to systems reporting through the EMR system.
