## Where to Start

If you're new to EdEHR, the [Adoption Readiness](https://github.com/edehr/compass-edehr/blob/main/Getting%20Started/next-steps/adoption-readiness.md) page in Getting Started provides a high-level overview of what the adoption journey involves. The [Assessing Institutional Readiness](/edehr-compass/planning-and-governance/strategic-planning/assessing-institutional-readiness.md) page here is a natural next step for a structured readiness assessment.
