CAREpoint 3 Implementation Framework
Implementing CAREpoint 3 is a collaborative process designed to ensure a smooth transition and successful launch. Our team partners with you every step of the way, guided by a structured 12-week (90-day) implementation framework.
👉 Please note: all projects are managed in Basecamp. Prior to your kickoff meeting, you will receive Basecamp credentials and onboarding instructions. All tasks, communications, and milestones will be tracked there.

Stakeholder Involvement
Successfully installing your CAREpoint 3 requires participation across several departments. The GD team will work with contacts from:
-
Information Technology
-
Telecommunications
-
Emergency Department

Internal or contracted 2-way radio services
Implementation Process Overview
Your GD Project Manager will coordinate the project through Basecamp and lead a kickoff meeting with key stakeholders. This meeting will:
-
Provide a product overview and align all parties
-
Define project objectives and assign tasks
-
Establish a target Go Live date
Assuming IT requirements and deadlines are met, implementation typically takes approximately 12 weeks (90 days). Note: Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, License Activation commences 90 days after delivery of invoice or at implementation go-live, whichever occurs first.
