Planning an Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation or preparing for your Go-Live? Success depends on more than just strong software—it relies on a fully tested, technically ready environment.
A Technical Dress Rehearsal (TDR) ensures that every workstation, device and integration functions exactly as it should before launch. At CSI Companies, we help healthcare organizations identify issues early, minimize disruptions, and achieve a smooth, confident go-live.
What Is a Technical Dress Rehearsal (TDR)?
A Technical Dress Rehearsal is a comprehensive end-to-end inventory and testing of your technical infrastructure ahead of a Go-Live. From verifying workstation connectivity to ensuring printers, scanners, and mobile devices function as expected, TDR validates the readiness of your entire environment.
Without a successful TDR, healthcare systems risk delays, system downtime, and workflow disruptions—especially during Go-Live. CSI Companies ensures that it doesn’t happen.

Inside Our Proven TDR Process

- Pre-TDR Planning: Site walkthroughs, inventory validation, and connectivity preparation.
- Pilot TDR: Testing 3–5% of devices to identify major gaps.
- Pilot Remediation: Fixing issues discovered during pilot testing.
- Full TDR Testing: Testing all devices, integrations, and workflows.
