Midsize/Large Ambulatory EMR 2022
05 July 22    |   Aaron Gleave and Alex McIntosh
Technology needs are constantly evolving in healthcare, yet vendor development efforts may not always align with provider organizations’ top priorities. To better understand what these priorities are in midsize and large ambulatory practices (11+ physicians), KLAS interviewed over 500 respondents from such organizations regarding the areas most in need of improvement from their EMR vendor.

Comprehensive Ambulatory Platforms 2021
16 December 21    |   Aaron Gleave and Alex McIntosh
Looking to improve integration and reduce vendor complexity, ambulatory organizations have recently accelerated efforts to consolidate their technology solutions. However, their EMR vendor’s portfolio may have gaps or may not stack up in certain areas to the specialized functionality of best-of-breed solutions. To help organizations determine whether a consolidated IT approach is best for them, KLAS conducted in-depth interviews with ambulatory organizations that have broadly and deeply adopted their EMR vendor’s technology portfolio. These customers’ feedback reveals what technology is adopted today, where gaps still exist, and what benefits and potential pitfalls other organizations may want to consider as they move toward consolidation. Vendors that offer a wide range of IT solutions for ambulatory practices were invited to submit a list of the organizations that have most broadly and deeply adopted their ambulatory portfolios (eClinicalWorks elected not to participate and MEDITECH did not have enough standalone ambulatory customers to qualify). Five “deep adopters” were interviewed for each participating vendor. Their insights are intended to help other organizations understand the current best-case scenario with a comprehensive ambulatory platform.

EMR-Centric Virtual Care Platforms 2021
24 June 21    |   Aaron Gleave and Alex McIntosh
Though many ambulatory and acute care EMR vendors already had plans pre-COVID to create, acquire, or expand virtual care capabilities, the emergence of the pandemic obviously necessitated an accelerated development pace. Based 100% on vendor-provided information (not yet validated by KLAS), this report explores what virtual care capabilities are available from EMR vendors and how these solutions are being deployed. Many EMR vendors were invited to participate in this report; those who responded are included in the charts below. Part two of this report (scheduled for release later in 2021) will explore the actual customer experience for as many of these solutions as possible, regardless of vendor participation. Note: For information on the broader telehealth ecosystem (including telehealth technology from non-EMR vendors), see KLAS’ recent  Telehealth Ecosystem 2021 report .

Information Blocking
12 May 21    |   Coray Tate and Paul Warburton
The final rule from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) regarding the 21st Century Cures Act went into effect April 5, 2021, and includes new regulations regarding interoperability and information blocking. Just before the rule’s start date, KLAS reached out to provider organizations to understand what they have done to prepare, what the biggest challenges were, and how they think the changes will impact interoperability. Feedback from 42 respondents is explored below.
