Best Practices for a Successful Rollout

 

This is where Top-Rated Client Support matters as much as the technology itself. BetterRX pairs its ePrescribing platform with a dedicated onboarding specialist and training team that sets up and trains admins and nurses across every location, including EPCS setup for prescribers, rather than leaving a hospice to figure out rollout on its own.

Per BetterRX's Voice of the Customer survey across six consecutive years, clients report 95.0% satisfaction for "Client Success Manager expertise", the kind of ongoing partnership that helps a rollout succeed instead of stalling after the first few weeks.

In practice, the technology gets a hospice most of the way there, but the real difference between a smooth transition and a stalled one usually comes down to how well prescribers, nurses, and administrative staff are supported through the first few weeks, not how many features the software has on paper.

 

 

How to Evaluate an ePrescribing Partner

 

A hospice that asks these questions before signing a contract tends to have a much smoother go-live than one that only asks them after something goes wrong. The technology itself rarely fails outright, but a rollout plan with real gaps in EPCS setup, training, or support often shows up as a stalled adoption curve a few weeks in.
