Why Does the Performance of Global EMRs Vary by Region?

KLAS looks at EMR performance around the world

OREM, UT, November 12, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Vendors continue to learn valuable lessons from one global region to another as their customers have varying degrees of success with their EMR products. This and other findings are included in the latest KLAS report on global EMR performance.

"Providers in certain geographical areas want more support or vendor involvement than in other places across the globe," said report author Chris Brown. "That seems to be one of the key drivers of why provider satisfaction varies."

KLAS spoke to providers from around the world to find out how their EMRs are performing. Interviews were based on the core areas of sales and contracting, implementation and training, functionality and upgrades, and service and support. The vendors included in the report are Allscripts, Cerner, ChipSoft, CSC, Epic, InterSystems, MEDITECH, Philips and Siemens.

The report, entitled "Global EMR Performance 2014: Vendors Are Succeeding--Where and Why?" published earlier today. For access to the report, you can download the myKLAS app at http://www.klasresearch.com/lp/downloadklasapp or visit KLAS online at www.KLASresearch.com/reports. The report is available to healthcare providers and vendors. Providers receive a significant discount off the standard retail price or can receive a complimentary summary report in exchange for a survey about one of their current suppliers.
