After hundreds of implementations, and more than a few battle scars, I’ve distilled our approach into a 7-step blueprint that works whether you’re rolling out telehealth for 3 clinics or 300.
Follow this, and you’ll avoid 90% of the pain points I’ve already paid the price to learn.
Before any technology discussion, I spend a full week assessing:
Data Point
In clinics where we skipped this step early in my career, post-launch issues took 4 to 6 weeks to stabilize. When we started doing it, we cut that down to 1 to 2 weeks.
This is where most telehealth projects succeed or fail.
We build an integration map that details:
We also customize:
As I shared earlier, the urban-suburban-rural test model gives us diverse stress points.
We run the pilot for 4 to 6 weeks, tracking:
We don’t move to full rollout until KPIs meet our thresholds.
This is where human adoption takes center stage.
Each role gets its own training curriculum, live demos, and quick-reference guides.
Instead of launching network-wide overnight, we roll out in waves of 5 to 10 clinics.
Why?
Example
When a pediatric group had a spike in ‘patient no-show’ metrics in wave 1, we added SMS reminders before wave 2, and no-shows dropped by 18% instantly.
Too many vendors disappear after go-live. That’s where we double down.
We also monitor:
Telehealth is dynamic; new regulations, features, and patient expectations arrive every quarter.
We set quarterly review sessions to:
ROI Example
One multi-specialty network, COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC, LLC, saw a 26% increase in patient reach and a 15% reduction in admin costs within 6 months. These numbers made their board approve a second-phase expansion.
Every rollout I lead is judged by these metrics:
When we hit these numbers, the conversation with leadership shifts from “Is telehealth worth it?” to “How fast can we scale this?”
I’ll share where telehealth is headed in the next 3 to 5 years, including AI, remote patient monitoring, and hybrid care models, and how we’re preparing our clients to be ahead of the curve.
If you haven’t read Part 2 yet, we recommend starting there before diving into this section.
