Post-Close Tech Stack: First 100 Days for Senior Housing Acquisitions
The traditional post-close tech workstream starts with a cutover plan. That assumption is what makes most senior housing acquisitions burn 9–18 months on integration. SeniorCRE inverts it: the canonical operating record goes live first, and every keep-vs-replace decision waits until the buyer has one source of truth.

Keep the acquired operator’s EHR, ERP, and payroll running. Connect them into the canonical operating record. Make keep-vs-replace decisions after the record is live — not before.
This page is the operator and asset-manager companion to the acquisition integration checklist and the institutional First 100 Days playbook .

Key points
- Usually no. A connect-first approach keeps clinical operations stable through close. The canonical operating record gives the buyer one source of truth across EHR, ERP, and payroll without forcing a clinical cutover during the riskiest 100 days of the deal.
- A buyer tenant on the operating record, read-only connectors to EHR / ERP / payroll / eMAR, RBAC + SSO, audit logging, and covenant + RIDEA surfaces. Everything else can be evaluated after the canonical record exists.
- After week 12. Once the canonical record is populated and the operator is reporting against it, each inherited system can be evaluated on per-bed cost, integration cost, and operator control — not on emotion or vendor pressure.
- Traditional PMI assumes a cutover. SeniorCRE assumes a connector. The acquisition succeeds when the operating record is live, not when the legacy systems are gone — and the operating record is live in weeks, not quarters.
- Inventory every clinical, financial, workforce, family, and investor system the acquired operator runs.
- Provision the buyer tenant and activate read-only connectors with 24-month backfill.
- Map every system into the six canonical entities so reporting and AI read from one record.
- Turn on compliance, clinical, and workforce intelligence directly on top of the canonical record.
