The Software Implementation CrisisWhy Traditional Metrics Fail

Research shows 92% of healthcare software implementations fail to deliver promised value. Why? They track the wrong metrics. While vendors celebrate “go-live dates” and “features deployed,” agencies drown in Tangleware™—10-15 disconnected systems creating Care Chaos™ that costs $3,900-$11,000 monthly.
Traditional Metrics That Guarantee Failure:

On-Time Delivery

Launching on schedule means nothing if users reject the system

Features Completed

100% feature delivery with 20% adoption = failure

Training Hours

80 hours of training that no one remembers is waste

Technical Uptime

99.9% uptime on unused systems is meaningless

Budget Adherence

Staying on budget while losing $11,000/month is disaster
