OPEN MINDS Announces Executive Roundtable On Strategic EHR Adoption
Gettysburg, Pa. (June 15, 2025) On June 19, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET, Jeff Arledge, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Easterseals Midwest, will present the essential components of his electronic health record (EHR) selection plan during the OPEN MINDS Circle Executive Roundtable, The ROI Of Strategic Technology: The Easterseals Midwest Case Study.
During this one-hour live presentation, Mr. Arledge will share how a great EHR selection process starts with great strategic planning that delivers a clear understanding of the organization’s future market positioning, service lines, and the EHR functionalities necessary to support that. This will include how to select the right team, how to adopt effective change management practices, and how to overcome selection fatigue.
“Making an EHR work for the team and support an organization’s strategic plan starts with a successful tech adoption plan,” said OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer Monica E. Oss. “That adoption, coupled with advanced data integration, is critical to successful growth in an evolving market landscape that demands integrated, value-based, and consumer-centric services.”
Executive attendees of this session will:
- Gain insights on how to align the technology plan with the strategic plan.
- Discuss examples of using technology budgeting to leverage staff and resources to operate more efficiently and create a competitive advantage.
- Identify how to assess the return on investment between different technology options by estimating potential revenue increases or cost reductions.
