OPEN MINDS Executive Seminar To Share A Blueprint For Smarter EHR Selection & Optimization During In-Person Event This October
GETTYSBURG, PA. (October 2, 2025) — Choosing the right electronic health record (EHR) system—or sticking with the wrong one—can make or break a health care organization’s success. As the industry shifts toward value-based reimbursement, integrated care coordination, and heightened consumer expectations, the role of EHR technology has become central to conducting business.
To help executives navigate this important decision, the 2025 OPEN MINDS Technology & Analytics Institute will feature a half-day seminar on Tuesday, October 21, 2025 from 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET, with Joseph P. Naughton-Travers, EdM, Senior Associate, OPEN MINDS, who will share a proven framework for selecting, budgeting, and optimizing EHR systems that align with organizational strategy and sustainability.
Over his 25+ years with OPEN MINDS, Mr. Naughton-Travers has helped hundreds of specialty provider organizations evaluate their technology options and bring EHR systems to full optimization. “The keys to success are selecting the right EHR and vendor partner, negotiating the right contract, and driving a timely, effective implementation,” says Mr. Naughton-Travers. “Because these systems represent such significant investments—in both dollars and staff time—the process must begin with a clear understanding of the organization’s current needs and a strategic vision for where it’s headed.”
The seminar, “Finding An Electronic Health Record System For Your Future: The 2025 OPEN MINDS Seminar On Best Practices In EHR Selection, Contracting & Optimization,” sponsored by Core Solutions, will guide attendees on how to identify the technology their organization truly needs, evaluate vendors with confidence, budget wisely for implementation, and secure contracts that protect long-term performance. In addition, Ravi Ganesan, Chief Executive Officer of Core Solutions, will also present on innovative new AI functionalities that transform data into actionable clinical decisions that can lead to improved client outcomes.
“Health care leaders need more than just software demos—they need a process to evaluate, negotiate, implement, and optimize EHR systems that support their organization’s strategy,” said Monica E. Oss, Chief Executive Officer at OPEN MINDS. “This seminar provides the tactical guidance to avoid costly mistakes and maximize the value of investments in EHR technology.”
Other highlights of the institute include 30 high-value case studies, and the 3rd Annual OPEN MINDS Smart Home Technology Expo, sponsored by Trillium Health Resources. Eight organizations will demonstrate trailblazing smart home innovations that facilitate independent living, simplify daily tasks, enhance safety, and promote overall well-being for older adults and individuals with disabilities.
