2023 Best In KLAS Patient Portals

As the digital landscape grows in healthcare and other industries, patients are expecting more seamless and convenient access to healthcare and therefore report that self-scheduling is one of their top healthcare engagement priorities . Provider organizations are responding by offering patient self-scheduling functionality to both increase patient convenience and reduce staff burden. This report focuses on five standalone patient self-scheduling solutions to understand their ease of use, why they were chosen over other types of solutions (e.g., EHR functionality), and whether they are worth the money. Additional insights about the broader patient self-scheduling market are also included.

The term “digital front door” has become popular in recent years across the healthcare industry. Increasingly, it is used to refer to patient interactions not only before visits but also during and after care. The Health Management Academy and KLAS Research have partnered to create this guide, aimed at helping healthcare organizations understand the market as a whole and their vendor options.

When making a core HIT purchasing decision, healthcare organizations must take into account how prospective partners deliver across a variety of key technology areas. This MEDITECH Expanse “complete look” provides a high-level analysis of the key products that make up MEDITECH’s enterprise suite. (Other reports in the series do the same for Altera Digital Health [Allscripts] , Epic , Evident , and Oracle Health [Cerner] .) This report focuses on the core Expanse suite; data on MEDITECH’s MAGIC, C/S, and 6.x platforms is excluded.

Patient Perspectives on Patient Engagement Technology 2022

26 May 22 | Adam Cherrington and Dan Czech

The pandemic has emphasized the need for healthcare organizations to better accommodate patients’ needs and decrease barriers to effective care. However, patients are frequently absent from discussions around healthcare information technology (HIT). In KLAS’ previous report on the patient perspective , we discovered a lack of alignment between patients’ engagement technology priorities and those of provider organizations and vendors. Since then, KLAS has sought to gain a deeper understanding of what is needed from vendors and providers to drive greater alignment with patients. This report seeks to highlight the patient voice and is one of many KLAS initiatives aimed at more deeply understanding and measuring the patient perspective on HIT.
