How to switch from per-seat EMR pricing to Pay-per-Chart in 7 steps

Switching wound care EMRs sounds scary until you break it into steps. This guide walks through moving your team from per-seat billing to Pay-per-Chart in one workweek, with no charting downtime.

Step 1: Audit your current seat utilization

Pull the last 90 days of logins per user. Flag every seat that logged in fewer than eight days a month — those are your empty-chair losses. See the math in Why Empty Chairs Cost Wound Care Practices Thousands.

Step 2: Count charts, not users

Export your total drafted notes per month. That number — not headcount — is what a credit pool needs to cover.

Step 3: Provision the shared credit pool

One pool serves your whole team. Every clinician, MA, and biller logs in free. Details in Inside the Shared Credit Pool.

Step 4: Migrate patient records

Import patients and history into the AI-powered EMR for wound care. Storage is unlimited and free.

Step 5: Run a two-week overlap

Keep the old EMR read-only. Draft new visits in Pay-per-Chart. You only spend credits on charts you actually finish.

Step 6: Cancel unused seats

Once the overlap ends, terminate per-seat contracts and stop paying for empty chairs.

Step 7: Reconcile your first invoice

Your first bill matches your visit volume — not your roster. Full playbook: How to Switch from Per-Seat EMR Pricing to Pay-per-Chart in 7 Steps.
