Epic Complete Look 2023
18 July 23    |   Paul Warburton and Tyson Blauer
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 Epic “complete look” provides a high-level analysis of the key products that make up Epic’s enterprise suite. (Other reports in the series do the same for Altera Digital Health [Allscripts] , Evident , MEDITECH , and Oracle Health [Cerner] .)

Transitions of Care 2022
29 December 22    |   Bradley Hunter and Paul Warburton
Inefficient care transitions lead to wasted time and energy, increased risk of human error, and potentially poor experiences for both patients and providers. Despite the industry’s attempts to ensure the right information is sent to the right people at the right time, healthcare organizations must often revert to manual processes for data entry, verification, and communication. Some organizations use or want to use technology to streamline their transitions of care (TOC). This report—KLAS’ first to look at TOC—draws from the perspectives of 95 healthcare leaders across multiple care settings to understand their adoption of care transition technology, the challenges they encounter in their care settings, and the vendors they are considering.

Facility-Based Post–Acute Care 2022
10 November 22    |   Cimone Smith and Paul Hess
The COVID-19 pandemic brought a wave of challenges to facility-based post–acute care organizations (i.e., SNFs, LTCHs, and IRFs). Staffing has become a particular pain point, with organizations citing burnout, increased competition with staffing firms, and intensive patient care for severe COVID-19 cases as contributing factors. To help organizations understand how peers are approaching the current environment, KLAS interviewed 82 leaders from facility-based post–acute care organizations regarding the top challenges they face and the technology vendors they use or have considered investing in to address these challenges.
