CereCore at MUSE Inspire 2026: Exploring New Frontiers in MEDITECH
Get ready for the MUSE Inspire Conference. In this blog, we provide a sneak peek into the presentations from CereCore that will inspire you to tackle implementation challenges head-on, streamline surgical ordering workflows, and adapt MEDITECH for specialized behavioral health environments.
MUSE Inspire Conference Sneak Peek: The Four Implementation Project Killers—and How to Plan Around Them
Have you ever looked back on an EHR implementation and wondered how certain critical areas slipped through the cracks until it was too late? You're not alone.
At the 2026 MUSE Inspire Conference, attend the educational session Implementation Project Killers: How to Plan Around Them? led by Bob Gronberg, AVP, MEDITECH Services. Drawing from more than 35 years of healthcare IT experience and dozens of successful MEDITECH implementations, Bob will shine a light on four areas that EHR and EPI projects consistently overlook; and share the tools, techniques to get ahead of them before they derail your project.
Bob brings lessons learned from real projects, giving attendees a look at where organizations scramble and how smarter planning from the start makes all the difference.
Key highlights you don't want to miss:
- The four most commonly overlooked areas in EHR/EPI implementations and why they demand early, substantial focus
- Tools and techniques to better handle these high-risk functions across your project lifecycle
- Real-world lessons learned from other organizations' struggles so your team doesn't have to repeat them
- Strategies to more accurately plan time, resources, and energy investment upfront
- How AMB orders flow into surgical workflows and what clinical teams need to know
- Best practices for governance, ownership alignment, and workflow timing to reduce friction at go-live
- The financial implications of getting (and not getting) this right
- KPIs to track adoption and performance across sites
- Change management strategies that support sustainable, scalable use of this functionality
- The key challenges unique to behavioral health implementations, including documentation complexity, workflow integration, and staffing constraints
- Strategies for optimizing multidisciplinary workflows, treatment planning, group notes, and collaborative documentation, that align with MEDITECH functionality
- How to partner effectively with clinicians, consultants, and MEDITECH specialists throughout implementation, training, and ongoing optimization
- Lessons learned from a behavioral health implementation that attendees can apply to their own environments
- Approaches to improve internal planning, communication, and cross-team collaboration across clinical, informatics, and operational stakeholders
Whether you're a project manager, IT leader, or implementation consultant, this session will equip you with a clearer roadmap for navigating the areas that most often catch organizations off guard.
MUSE Inspire Conference Sneak Peek: Making AMB to SUR Ordering Work in MEDITECH Expanse
Surgical workflows are complex, and when ambulatory ordering connects into that environment, the clinical, operational, and financial stakes are high. So how do you implement AMB to SUR ordering in a way that actually sticks across multiple sites?
At the 2026 MUSE Inspire Conference, Cory Lane, Director of Hospital Applications at Surgery Partners, and Grace Krause, Senior MEDITECH Project Management Consultant at CereCore, will present Strategies for Success: SUR Orders from AMB. This session pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to implement and operationalize AMB to SUR ordering in MEDITECH Expanse, sharing the lessons learned, the metrics that matter, and the governance structures that support long-term scalability.
Here's a sneak peek of some of the insights to come in this session:
The session will address the full picture from how this functionality reshapes clinical and operational workflows to its downstream impact on the patient experience and the bottom line.
The session will also explore:
If your organization is live with MEDITECH Expanse or planning to go live, and surgical services are part of your footprint, this session will give you the playbook to implement with confidence.
MUSE Inspire Conference Sneak Peek: Adapting MEDITECH MaaS for the Unique Demands of Behavioral Health
MEDITECH is built for the full spectrum of healthcare, but implementing it in a behavioral health environment introduces complexities that most implementation teams simply aren't prepared for. Documentation structures, treatment planning, group note functionality, confidentiality workflows, and multidisciplinary care coordination all require a different kind of attention.
At the 2026 MUSE Inspire Conference, Marcella Whooley, an experienced registered nurse and MEDITECH consultant, will present MaaS Solutions for Behavioral Health EHR Challenges: Adapting Medically-Focused Platforms to Specialized Behavioral Healthcare. Through the lens of a real behavioral health implementation, Marcella will share experience-driven insights that help organizations anticipate what's coming and build the internal alignment needed to navigate it.
Here's a sneak peek of some of the insights to come in this session:
The medically-focused design of MEDITECH MaaS can absolutely support behavioral health environments, but it takes deliberate configuration, strong clinical partnerships, and a clear-eyed view of where the friction points will be. This session is built for teams who want to get ahead of those challenges rather than react to them post-go-live.
The session will also explore:
If your organization is considering MEDITECH MaaS for a behavioral health setting, or if you're already live and looking to optimize, this session will give you actionable guidance and a clearer picture of what success looks like.
