PPV: Don’t make a hasty decision when selecting an EHR vendor
EHR Connection, June 2, 2008
Hasty EHR vendor selection can lead to frustration at best or a failed implementation at worst, says Michael R. Cohen, MM, president of MRC Consulting Group in St. Charles, IL. Strategy details will vary depending on the type and size of the buyer, but organizations should follow some general steps when selecting an EHR vendor, Cohen says.
Review your organization’s strategic plans and vision before you begin the vendor selection process. Determine what you expect from a new system—and be absolutely certain that you actually need one—before shopping for an EHR, Cohen says. Review business and clinical strategic plans already in place to ensure that an EHR will mesh with your organization’s established guiding principles.
