How to choose EHR/EMR software

  1. Match tool to scale and specialty

    Large health systems / hospitals: Epic, Cerner/Oracle Health, Meditech. Mid-size practices and clinics: athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen. Small practices and specialty (mental health, physical therapy, etc.): SimplePractice, Tebra, DrChrono. Different tiers have wildly different costs and feature sets.

  2. Audit interoperability and HIE participation

    EHRs must exchange records via HL7 FHIR, CommonWell, Carequality, and state health information exchanges. Tools that score well on ONC certifications and HIE participation reduce friction with referrals and emergency departments.

  3. Plan for the multi-year implementation cost

    Enterprise EHR implementations take 1-3 years and cost millions in services. Even mid-market EHRs require 3-6 months. Budget for trainers, change management, and lost productivity during go-live, not just the software.

Honorable mentions
