Below are the news according to Medscape.
Hundreds of companies sell electronic health record (EHR) systems, but just 2 of them dominated the annual year-end rankings published by research firm KLAS, suggesting the tremors of a long-awaited industry shakeout.
The KLAS findings partly reflect the accelerating shift of physicians from independent practice to hospital employment, experts told Medscape Medical News. KLAS named Epic the number 1 overall software vendor and the number 1 overall physician practice vendor.
Epic received the company's Best of KLAS Award for EHRs for medical practices with from 11 to 75 physicians and those with more than 75 physicians. It also took top honors in the category of inpatient EHRs. Meanwhile, Athenahealth had the number 1 EHR for practices with 1 to 10 physicians.
CureMD ranks as the number-one vendor of electronic health record (EHR) programs accessed online solely with a Web browser, according to a new study by research firm KLAS. Close behind in second place is Practice Fusion, which has the only free system on the market. Athenahealth and Medical Informatics Engineering tied for third place in the comparison of these inexpensive, easily implemented systems and their vendors.
The remaining 6 EHR vendors in the KLAS survey are:
- MedPlus/Quest Diagnostics
- Sevocity
- OptumInsight (formerly Ingenix)
- AdvancedMD
- Waiting Room Solutions
- Bizmatics
