Alberta EMR buyers guide
Structured checklist for clinic owners evaluating EMR and clinic platform vendors in Alberta — billing, trust, AI, migration, and total cost of ownership.
1
Define workflows and roles
- List every role: physician, NP, nurse, MOA, billing lead, admin
- Document visit types, specialty workflows, and multi-site needs
- Quantify billing mix: AHCIP vs private pay vs memberships
- Map goals for charting, billing, scheduling, and patient engagement in one platform
2
Verify Alberta capabilities
- Confirm H-Link claim drafting, validation, and export in live demo
- If on PCPCM: verify time codes and PCPCM BA setup in live demo
- Demo with your actual fee codes — not generic templates
3
Security and privacy review
- Request SOC 2 Type II report summary or equivalent audit
- Confirm Canadian data residency and encryption standards
- Review AI data handling: no training on patient data in writing
- Validate role-based access, audit logs, and BAA availability
- Involve privacy officer before AI or portal go-live
4
Migration, training, and TCO
- LifeLink onboarding: about one month from discovery to go-live
- Test migration and verify patient data before go-live
- Schedule role-based training for clinical and front-desk staff
- Calculate TCO: subscription tiers, implementation, reduced standalone tools
- Dedicated go-live support and 30-day post-launch review
