Providers look to vendors to deliver functionality

Laura Pedulli | | Health Exec | EMR/EHR

Providers are more concerned with vendors’ ability to deliver functionality than technology differentiation, according to a study by KLAS Research.

In its report, “EMR Technology Perception 2013: Separating Fact from Fiction,” KLAS interviewed 117 progressive U.S. healthcare delivery organizations to determine what really matters and the impact technology is having on their ability to provide care.

KLAS interviewed providers using EMRs from Allscripts, Cerner, Epic, McKesson, MEDITECH and Siemens. The report examined multiple aspects of EMR technology, including how providers reach purchasing decisions, the impact the technology is having on providers’ ability to extend EMR functionality, provider perceptions on the strength of the technology itself and the future risks providers associated with the technology.
