Small-Hospital EHR (1–200 Beds) 2024: Buyer’s Remorse among Recent Decision-Makers
31 October 24
Small acute care organizations face unique challenges—such as financial constraints and limited internal resources—that impact or even delay their EHR purchase decisions. As a result, according to KLAS’ <a href="https://klasresearch.com/report/us-acute-care-ehr-market-share-2024-large-organizations-drive-market-energy/3333" target="_blank"><u style="color:#4c8bc9;">2024 acute care EHR market share report</u></a> (which tracks all hospital EHR wins and losses), 42% of the small independent hospitals (1–200 beds) still use legacy systems. Still, progress is being made: between 2021 and 2023, KLAS validated go-forward EHR decisions made by 184 such hospitals (almost 14% of the market). This report examines how a sample of those organizations are faring with their new EHR, including what their decisions suggest about future buying energy in this space, how much value they have realized, and how their training experience has been. <p style="font-size:.75em; color:#858d96;"><strong>Note on Report Sample & Methodology:</strong> Data for this report comes from three main sources: (1) KLAS Decision Insights data, (2) KLAS market share data, and (3) KLAS performance data. KLAS Decision Insights data includes all EHR purchases from small standalone hospitals (1–200 beds) between August 2022 and August 2024. The rest of the data comes from a subset of small hospitals that have made an EHR purchase decision in the last three years and have been live for at least three months. Of the vendors with recent wins, only Epic, MEDITECH Expanse, Oracle Health, and TruBridge EHR have sufficient performance data to be included.</p>

UK & Ireland EPR 2024
09 July 24    |   Eder Lagemann and Spencer Corbett
Over the last five years, there has been consistent energy around EPR investment and digital transformation in the UK and Ireland—on average, at least six healthcare organisations have made an EPR purchase decision each year. Going forward, activity will likely increase amid integrated care system (ICS) alignment, as over 50 trusts will look to upgrade or deploy their first EPR over the next few years. While going through the complex decision-making process, organisations frequently look for a partner that can provide not only core documentation and ordering functionalities but also additional clinical, administrative and ancillary modules to support their digital transformation. This report includes (1) an overview of the market share and customer satisfaction with EPR suppliers in the UK and Ireland and (2) a look at suppliers’ broader portfolios, diving into the performance and adoption of modules outside of core functionality.

US Acute Care EHR Market Share 2024
17 May 24    |   Paul Warburton and Tyson Blauer
Acute care EHR purchasing remained high throughout 2023. While market energy in 2022 was mostly driven by small organizations, the majority of 2023 purchases were the result of large multispecialty and specialty organizations making go-forward decisions. Of the 319 hospitals impacted by go-forward decisions (including migrations and specialty hospital wins), 79% were part of health systems while the remainder were standalone hospitals. Key decision drivers were acquisition activity and the need to streamline IT departments and improve clinical usability. This report examines these and other trends in EHR purchases that occurred in the US from January–December 2023.

Hallmarks of High-Performing Companies 2023
10 May 23    |   Emily Paxman
HIT vendors consistently strive to live up to their customers’ expectations, and KLAS data shows that most vendors successfully keep all their promises. But in the last year, one in four healthcare organizations interviewed by KLAS report their vendor does not keep all promises. This report highlights where broken promises most often occur, the impact of broken promises on provider organizations, and how both organizations and vendors can ensure promises are kept, fostering better vendor/client trust and ultimately better patient care.



Reducing Filters

Unlike sizing filters, reducing filters DO NOT recalculate scores based on the evaluations that meet these requirements. They narrow the list of solutions to show the vendors and solutions that can meet a specific need.

This data is based on interviews with a sample of the firms' recent clients. As a result, it is not necessarily comprehensive of all work a firm may do in this segment.

We require a minimum of 2 confirmations of a service performed in the last 3 years for a solution to qualify.
