We consider ourselves health care professionals, and thought we don’t make many decisions in our practice, we can still help our administrators make good decisions. One company that we think can help your administrators make good health care IT purchases is a company called KLAS. We are not affiliated with them, but we think you can find this info helpful.
They help health care professionals by providing them, like consumer report ratings for health care software systems and vendors. You can check out a sample of a report we’re interested in here. That report is about choosing your EMR in small practices.
This is how KLAS works:
“What We Do
KLAS helps healthcare providers make informed technology decisions by offering accurate, honest, and impartial vendor performance information.

Our Mission
KLAS’ mission is to improve the delivery of healthcare technology by independently measuring and reporting on vendor performance. “
