Finding Freedom in the Stack: Vendor Lock-In, Innovation Gridlock, and the Real Cost to Patient Outcomes
As healthcare organizations across Canada centralize their electronic medical records (EMRs) and other key providers, many are tied to dominant vendors — platforms with ambitious roadmaps. While CIOs are pressured to deliver constant updates and “new functionality,” frontline teams grapple with change fatigue and leaders struggle to measure the impact on clinical care. Tackle the growing tension between vendor dependency and patient-centred innovation, with a focus on how to advocate and partner with vendors for adaptable functionality that truly improves outcomes. Develop a blueprint to:
- Mitigate the limitations of current vendor ecosystems — and learn how to navigate or influence them.
- Develop governance strategies that push for interoperability, open APIs, and measurable ROI.
- Avoid the “logo soup” of multiple pilots without a clear vendor strategy.
- Adopt vendor roadmaps that reflect strong internal alignment between IT, clinical, and operational leadership around technology adoption.
Transform your digital health destiny by optimizing vendor relationships and roadmaps.
