The Importance of a Successful Implementation – Featuring Real Customer Feedback
In the world of healthcare technology, the implementation phase is often overlooked but is absolutely critical. It’s the bridge between purchasing a software solution and realizing its full benefits. Let’s explore why implementation is so crucial and how effective strategies can make all the difference, with insights directly from our valued customers at UnityPoint, Northwestern Medicine, and a prominent midwest academic health system.
Why Implementation is Important
Implementing healthcare software is not just about installing new technology – it’s about setting the stage for future success. A well-executed implementation ensures that you get the most out of your investment, laying the groundwork for the entire deployment process. More importantly, it forms the “first impression” of the software for users and the organization, shaping their experience and adoption.
The Challenges of Implementing Healthcare Software
Implementing healthcare software comes with its unique set of challenges. As discussed in a previous blog post, these hurdles range from interoperability to data migration. For a comprehensive look at these challenges, check out our blog on Implementation Burnout in Healthcare.
Why These Challenges Matter
Ignoring these challenges can lead to several critical issues:
- Poor User Adoption: If user workflows and training are not thoroughly considered, staff may struggle to adopt the new system.
- Siloed or Incomplete Data Sets: Without proper data migration and integration, your datasets may remain fragmented, reducing the value of your new software.
As a result, the value of the software may be unrecognized.

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our customers have to say about their implementation experience with Casechek:
“I wanted to share how important and amazing our implementation has gone with Casechek. Our project manager has handled every challenge in stride and has a great way of redirecting and sharing the benefit of continuing with the approach that we are taking. We felt the implementation was under control in Casechek’s hands which relieved our team from having to join every call. We appreciate the amazing work and are very happy to have Casechek as a partner in this implementation.”
– Deb Van Der Molen, Director Supply Chain ERP, Integration and Training, UnityPoint
“One valuable piece that Casechek brought to the table was doing one on one meetings and doing live working sessions with our billers and our requesters. The ability to walk through and see the details and troubleshoot has kept the teams very involved because they see the fixes right away – and then they see the learnings right away. So I feel like that partnership and that ability to move beyond a question or a concern has kept us moving very forward and kept the team very engaged in the value of what Casechek is providing.”
– Director of Supply Chain Logistics, Prominent Midwest Academic Health System
“It was great to be a development partner with Casechek. Still, post-development with Casechek has also been great, rolling out across the whole Northwestern Medicine system since our initial pilot. In less than two months, Casechek deployed at over seven sites, helping us reach full deployment at all 12 sites rapidly. Casechek took the heavy lifting off of our team and trained all end users, including vendor sales reps.”
– Alisha Beringer, Director of Supply Chain Logistics, Northwestern Medicine
