Five Reasons to Start Your ESO Patient Registry Upgrade

Designed for trauma professionals by trauma professionals, ESO Patient Registry is an incredibly intuitive tool made to simplify patient data collection. Currently a year into its rollout, ESO Patient Registry is not only built by those with industry know-how, it is continuously being improved upon. By applying what we learned over the last year, the ESO team has worked tirelessly to improve the product itself, along with the onboarding process and product support.

Despite its benefits, many customers are hesitant to make the switch from their legacy ESO registry to this upgraded version, waiting instead for an event like a product end-of-life announcement. While ESO plans on announcing end-of-life dates for our legacy products over the next few years (with 12–18 months’ notice, of course), there’s no need to delay your upgrade. In fact, there are multiple reasons why you should make the switch today. Here are the top five reasons to upgrade to ESO Patient Registry:  

1. Future-proofing your registry 

Get ahead of any and all industry changes by establishing a foundation that promotes both future development and innovation. Even in its short life, ESO Patient Registry has gone through updates and iterations to ensure your team has the best possible product, setting the tone for the years to come.

2. Automating your data exchange

ESO Patient Registry now connects hospital data through FHIR for both EPIC and Cerner Millennium Electronic Health Records (EHRs), along with data from EMS partners through the ESO Health Data Exchange (HDE). This not only ensures a smoother transition of patient care but also that no data gets lost in the process, while creating some workflow efficiencies with data collection. Additionally, it automatically deploys updates for everything from bi-annual ICD-10 codes to helping maintain compliance without the unnecessary workload or downtime.

3. Controlling your transition timeline 

Transitioning to a new product isn’t without its growing pains, which is why it’s best to do so when you’re not in a time crunch. To ensure that all departments within your organization have time to get a new product approved and to account for any unexpected competing priorities that may slow down onboarding, it’s best to build in some additional time.

4. Building the registry your organization needs

By starting the upgrade process before it becomes a necessity, your team will feel less pressure and can focus instead on configuring the Patient Registry to your organization’s exact needs, which can be a time-consuming yet incredibly beneficial undertaking.   

If you’re worried about feeling overwhelmed, it’s important to know that the ESO team has developed a self-paced onboarding process to empower your team to build the registry that works best for your needs. You will also be supported by an ESO onboarding specialist, who will be with you every step of the way to guide your team through the onboarding process.  

5. Giving your team time to train 

ESO Patient Registry is an incredibly powerful tool with a ton of intuitive features designed to make your team’s job easier, and training is key to making the most of them. Although intimidating, training and education on the product will lead to a successful launch and allow your team to feel more confident in adopting ESO Patient Registry organization-wide. From advice to site visits to questions, our subject matter experts will work with you to devise an onboarding process that works best for your needs and timeline.
