Financial Improvement Consulting 2020:
Performance Improvement in a Time of Upheaval
Performance Improvement in a Time of Upheaval
Possibly the only constant in healthcare is that money is tight, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only tightened margins further by limiting health systems’ revenue for an undetermined amount of time. In this perfect storm of financial pressures, many organizations have turned to consulting firms for guidance to improve their financial performance. This report examines nine such firms, including the types of work they do and how well they deliver the financial outcomes clients need and expect.

Healthcare IoT Security 2020:
Great Options in an Emerging Market (A Decision Insights Report)
Great Options in an Emerging Market (A Decision Insights Report)
Adoption of security solutions for the healthcare internet of things (IoT) continues to grow as healthcare organizations look for ways to understand and manage the risk associated with connected devices. In most deployments, the focus has shifted from securing mainly medical devices to covering both medical devices and the broader IoT devices found in healthcare settings. As the market matures, organizations are also beginning to look beyond core capabilities—where most solutions are comparable—to factors like cost, ROI, expertise, and vendor culture when making buying decisions. With many strong options in the market, the bar for vendors is high. KLAS spoke with 51 healthcare organizations to understand which vendors are being selected and why and to glean early insights into customer satisfaction.

Healthcare AI 2020:
Investment Continues but Results Slower Than Expected (A Decision Insights Report)
Investment Continues but Results Slower Than Expected (A Decision Insights Report)
The benefits of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the healthcare ecosystem are undeniable,† and investment from healthcare organizations is increasing at a fast pace. Yet few organizations have settled on any one AI vendor as their go-forward choice—most use a hodgepodge of solutions to meet their needs. In this report, KLAS examines the recent AI purchase decisions of 47 organizations to determine which vendors are being considered and chosen, which are being replaced, and why provider and payer organizations choose the AI solutions they do (technology? service? healthcare expertise?). Additionally, we share customer satisfaction data from current users of ClosedLoop.ai, DataRobot, Epic, Health Catalyst, Jvion, and KenSci and examine healthcare’s perceptions of the cross-industry AI giants—Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft.

Epic Pharmacy Solutions 2020:
What Progress Has Epic Made With Medication Inventory and IV Workflow Management?
What Progress Has Epic Made With Medication Inventory and IV Workflow Management?
Despite pressure to take an Epic-first approach to software decisions, many pharmacies at Epic organizations have held on to third-party products due to the relative immaturity of some of Epic’s more recently developed pharmacy solutions. However, Epic has put significant focus on broad pharmacy development (the only enterprise EMR vendor to have done so), and customers want to know—is it time to switch? To answer this question, this report explores medication inventory management (MIM) and IV workflow management—the two areas where Epic has focused much of their development efforts—to validate what capabilities these modules deliver and where gaps still exist.
New
A Digital Pathology Addendum 2020:
TRIBVN Healthcare
TRIBVN Healthcare
In 2019, KLAS published our first look at digital pathology solutions. A number of leading organizations using digital pathology solutions for primary diagnosis were interviewed, with particular focus on reference sites from vendors in North America and Europe. The study highlighted some of the most prevalent vendors in the market, such as Philips and Sectra. KLAS also validated organizations using or considering other vendors, including TRIBVN Healthcare, for imaging management (i.e., PACS/workflow). TRIBVN Healthcare came to KLAS’ attention too late for them to be fully measured in the 2019 report. However, the vendor has since shared a customer list with KLAS, and this addendum examines the experience of those customers.
The framework below—from the 2019 report—details the technologies that healthcare organizations need to get started with digital pathology.

Enterprise Revenue Cycle 2020—Advanced User Insights:
The Value of Consolidation
The Value of Consolidation
While enterprise strategies for clinical technology are common, the complexity of the revenue cycle has, to date, precluded such an approach on the financial side, as no one vendor provides all the revenue cycle functionality organizations need. However, Change Healthcare, Experian, nThrive, and Waystar now claim to have expansive portfolios that fill the gaps left by the EMR and to have customers who have adopted a broad range of their revenue cycle technology. The goal of this report is to validate the veracity of these claims and gain insight into how this early market is shaping up—is enterprise revenue cycle adoption real? Do organizations who have broadly adopted one vendor see valuable benefits?
Risk Adjustment & Analytics 2020:
A First Look at Vendor Performance
A First Look at Vendor Performance
In the risk adjustment and analytics space (solutions and services supporting population stratification, reporting, and/or analytics for CMS or other risk-based contracts), four vendors tend to dominate mindshare and market share—Change Healthcare, Cotiviti, Inovalon, and Optum. But market share is not a guarantee of a strong customer experience, and some organizations have started to consider and choose other options. This report shares available vendor options, market perceptions of the most prominent vendors, and an early look at how well vendors meet client needs and drive outcomes. As KLAS research in this market is early, most satisfaction data is limited.

Legacy Data Archiving 2020:
Which Vendors Consistently Exceed Expectations?
Which Vendors Consistently Exceed Expectations?
When healthcare organizations purchase new software systems,
consolidate existing products, or acquire other facilities, they are often left
with legacy software solutions that need to be retired. Shuttering these
systems and archiving the data is an opportunity to reduce costs while
maintaining access to historical patient data. Organizations that have gone
through this process recommend considering the following when choosing a data
archiving partner:
- Project Size & Complexity: Which vendors have completed projects similar to yours in terms of the number of hospitals/clinics involved, the number/type of applications being archived, etc.?
- Extraction & Implementation: Late projects extend the amount of time legacy systems must be maintained and paid for. Which vendors set proper expectations and consistently hit timelines?
- Customer Satisfaction: What does customer satisfaction with system functionality and ongoing support look like post-implementation?
Pediatric Ambulatory EMR 2020:
Best EMR Performers in Pediatric Settings
Best EMR Performers in Pediatric Settings

Who Has Shown They Can Deliver Promised Technology?
Who Has Shown They Can Deliver Promised Technology?
Overall, customer satisfaction is high with the front-end speech recognition solutions from 3M (MModal), Dolbey, and Nuance. Since performance is high across the board, two key factors become important considerations as organizations decide which solution is right for them: (1) scalability— which vendors have proven able to scale to an organization of our size? and (2) delivery of new technology—which vendors have the ability to not just share plans for the future but actually roll out this technology in a successful way (i.e., install it properly, support it well, and ensure user adoption)? This report explores these key differentiators amid a number of notable market changes.
Delivering Customer Success in a Time of Crisis, Part 2:
Learnings and Insights from Vendor Interviews
Learnings and Insights from Vendor Interviews
As healthcare organizations have battled on the frontlines to keep the COVID-19 pandemic in check, they have turned to their HIT services and technology vendors for help, seeking expertise and resources, innovative solutions, and flexibility in contracting, deployment, and payment. Many HIT vendors have answered the call and are doing their best to meet customer needs. Based on interviews with 102 HIT technology vendors and services firms, this report seeks to share learnings and insights that vendors have gleaned thus far as well as common challenges they have encountered.
Our hope is that highlighting these insights will help vendors continue their work of helping healthcare organizations achieve both short-term and long-term success.
Note: All vendors who participated in the research will receive a deeper dive into these insights.
Medial EarlySign:
Emerging Technology Spotlight 2020
Emerging Technology Spotlight 2020
In 2019, KLAS began sharing research on vendors offering artificial intelligence (AI) based solutions to support better outcomes for patient care. This spotlight focuses on the performance of Medial EarlySign, who was not included in KLAS’ 2019 AI report because of the limited number of customers in this emerging field.
Clinical Optimization Services 2020:
Who Can Help Pull the Right Levers to Accelerate EMR Value?
Who Can Help Pull the Right Levers to Accelerate EMR Value?
Nearly all healthcare organizations today have implemented an EMR, but many clinicians express dissatisfaction with their system’s workflows and overall usability. This often stems from gaps in training and customization, which aren’t always prioritized during the initial implementation. Regardless of the reason, these issues contribute to poor EMR adoption and clinician burnout. To solve these problems, clinical optimization services firms offer three key levers proven to help organizations realize the promised value of their EMR: (1) workflow refinement, (2) application enhancement, and (3) clinician training.
Go-Live Support Segment Highlight 2020:
Differentiating Firms in a High-Satisfaction Market
Differentiating Firms in a High-Satisfaction Market
Provider organizations looking for go-live support have many experienced, knowledgeable firms to choose from, but how can they differentiate the good firms from the exceptional ones and ensure their engagement goes as smoothly as possible? Based on the feedback of current clients, this report examines overarching trends in the go-live support market and highlights each firm’s individual strengths and weaknesses.
Payer Core Administration Platforms 2020:
New Decisions & New Life (A Decision Insights Report)
New Decisions & New Life (A Decision Insights Report)
A core administration platform is the transactional heart of a payer organization—it is used to enroll new members, process and pay claims, and manage product lines and benefits. Many of the products in this market, while needed and typically stable, have been around for decades and are highly customized, hosted on-premises, and often seen as old and complex. Many payers are therefore reluctant to replace these systems because the risks and required effort are so high.
But recent buying activity suggests the payer core administration platform market is seeing revitalization. Triggered by the opportunities and challenges of payment reform and value-based care, payers are looking ahead and starting to bid for new vendor partners.
KLAS spoke with 30 payer organizations who are making or have recently made purchase decisions, and they shared their candid feedback and insights regarding what vendors they have considered, selected, and/or replaced. These interviews reveal new energy and life in a market long overdue for change—in terms of both product and service delivery.

Complex Claims Services 2020:
Bringing Knowledge and Skills to the Claims Market
Bringing Knowledge and Skills to the Claims Market
Some healthcare claims are harder to manage than others—in particular, out-of-state Medicaid, motor vehicle accident, VA, and workers’ compensation claims. In order to focus their resources on other claims, provider organizations often contract on a contingency basis with specialized firms who have ample experience handling one or more of these complex claim types. Typically, these firms achieve higher paid-claim rates and cash recovery than organizations would on their own. This report is meant to help provider organizations find the right firm for them by examining which firms manage which types of claims and how well each firm performs for clients.

Healthcare EMR AI 2020:
A Closer Look at EMR Offerings
A Closer Look at EMR Offerings
Previous KLAS research on artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare examined customer satisfaction with AI-focused vendors. However, as provider organizations develop go-forward AI strategies, they want to know: What capabilities are available from the solution that represents their organization’s largest HIT investment—their EMR? To answer this question, this report investigates what EMR vendors are doing in the world of AI.
Global (non-US) EMR Market Share 2020:
Regional Vendor Energy Rising
Regional Vendor Energy Rising
2019 saw a marked uptick in EMR purchases in nearly every region of the world. Total decisions increased by more than 50%, for a total of 224 contracts involving 565 facilities. Large regional or group decisions shaped the landscape in Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. Regional solutions’ energy increased as purchasing accelerated in regions where multiregional vendors lack a strong presence or haven’t recently excelled.
COVID-19 Telehealth Guide:
Solidifying a Telehealth Strategy
Solidifying a Telehealth Strategy
Use of telehealth technology, which until recently had been increasing at a gradual but steady pace, has sharply accelerated in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak. Relaxed privacy and reimbursement regulations have—at least temporarily—removed some significant barriers to providing this type of care, and with healthcare organizations looking to reduce face-to-face visits, many are either deploying telehealth technology for the first time or expanding their current offerings. This resource—the first of two COVID-19 focused telehealth reports—aims to provide high-level guidance helpful to organizations as they make immediate decisions and also solidify long-term telehealth strategies. It includes high-level overviews of validated vendors’ current customer satisfaction, key questions to consider in building a strategy, and a consolidated view of KLAS’ previously published telehealth reports.

Delivering Customer Success in a Time of Crisis, Part 1:
Guide for Vendor Success during COVID-19
Guide for Vendor Success during COVID-19
To support the healthcare community in this time of crisis, KLAS recently published a solutions guide highlighting various technologies and services healthcare organizations can use in the fight against COVID-19. Approximately 200 HIT companies and services firms are represented in the guide. While vendors have taken a positive step in making these solutions available, an organization’s success with any given offering will be determined in no small part by the vendor’s ability to deliver. KLAS feels our broad perspective on customer experience can help both healthcare organizations and vendors be successful in tackling COVID-19.
To that end, this white paper examines three areas in which vendor delivery, if not done correctly, can potentially damage customer relationships and prevent customers from achieving long-term success. These red flags are based on customer feedback about how vendors are responding to the current crisis and on general best practices KLAS has identified in over 20 years of customer experience research.
Our hope is that highlighting potential pitfalls and best practices will help vendors, who have already moved mountains to help the industry, continue their work of helping healthcare organizations achieve short-term and long-term success.
Note: All current KLAS members will receive a deeper dive into these insights during their yearly executive session.
Technical Services 2020:
A Tip-of-the-Spear Look at a Growing Market
A Tip-of-the-Spear Look at a Growing Market
Say what you want about meaningful use, but its success in spurring EMR adoption is hardly debatable. A wealth of healthcare data has now been captured electronically, but if it is to optimize patient care and provider collaboration, it must be available in a useful, accessible format. A broad range of technical skills are needed to convert data and integrate clinical applications, analytics tools, and other platforms. For help in this area, many provider organizations turn to the technical expertise of services firms. This report—focused on an initial subset of these firms (see below)—examines performance and capabilities in a market that sees high satisfaction overall.

Behavioral Health EMR 2020:
Struggling Market Sees Some Changes in Satisfaction
Struggling Market Sees Some Changes in Satisfaction
Organizations using behavioral health EMRs report some of the lowest satisfaction scores of any market segment KLAS rates. While there is still broad need for improvement across vendors, the last year has seen significant shifts—some vendors have stepped up and improved their delivery, while others have seen significant drops in customer satisfaction. What factors are driving these changes?
COVID-19 Technology & Services Solutions Guide

Epic Ambulatory 2020—Community Connect:
The Reality of Community Connect vs. Direct Contracting
The Reality of Community Connect vs. Direct Contracting
Because of Epic’s presence in the healthcare market and their record of strong performance, many standalone (i.e., not associated with a hospital) midsize to large ambulatory organizations have chosen or are seriously considering Epic’s platform. These organizations have two options: contract directly with Epic for an independent instance of the solution, or contract with a local hospital/IDN under the Community Connect model. This research—KLAS’ first look at the differences between these approaches on the ambulatory side—includes two main findings from standalone ambulatory organizations:
(1) With direct contracting, Epic delivers a highly satisfactory experience for midsize to large ambulatory organizations.
(2) Those on Community Connect, who rely on their host organization for support, tend to be considerably less satisfied and fault Epic for allowing host organizations to deliver an experience below Epic’s usual standard.

Artificial Intelligence in Imaging 2020:
Shifting Mindshare
Shifting Mindshare
Many provider organizations are exploring the deployment and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in imaging, and market competition has begun to increase among vendors who offer this technology. Based on feedback from 81 organizations with advanced imaging strategies, this report explores what healthcare organizations have planned for AI in imaging and their perceptions of which vendors are best positioned to help (responses could apply to modalities or software). It also identifies best practices related to AI deployment and adoption as reported by some of the healthcare industry’s most successful AI users. In the near future, KLAS plans to publish in-depth case studies from customers of some of the most frequently mentioned vendors to explore what is currently being achieved with AI in imaging.
Patient Perspectives on Patient Engagement Technology 2020
In recent years, provider organizations have increased their investment in patient engagement technologies, but the outcomes they report are often provider-centric and don’t necessarily benefit patients directly. It is becoming increasingly important for the patient voice to be at the center of vendor development and provider deployment efforts. To help support this focus, KLAS surveyed over 300 patients, asking them which patient engagement technologies have been most impactful to them and how they expect these technologies to impact them in the future.
Emerging HCIT Companies 2020:
Top-of-Mind Healthcare Technologies
Top-of-Mind Healthcare Technologies
KLAS conducts thousands of annual interviews with provider organizations to better understand their experience with their healthcare IT vendors. However, not all vendors are measured by KLAS today—some emerging vendors have very small customer bases, and others work in market segments outside KLAS’ current focus. This report also includes some established companies newly disrupting the healthcare market (e.g., Amazon, Google, Salesforce). To gain insights on emerging companies in healthcare IT, KLAS asks interviewed organizations to share the most innovative or potentially disruptive HIT vendor they have seen or heard about recently. During the latter half of 2019, 341 healthcare professionals from 299 different provider organizations responded to this question.
This report shares the top-of-mind companies and market segments that surfaced from these interviews; in the future, KLAS will monitor those companies that continue to pique market interest and gain mindshare among healthcare organizations.
Note: The data in this report was collected in the latter half of 2019 (from July 2019–Dec 2019).
Healthcare Business Intelligence and Analytics 2020:
Decision Insights Report
Decision Insights Report
The healthcare business intelligence (BI) and analytics market has become crowded, with vendors touting a variety of different benefits. Many healthcare organizations are looking to consolidate solutions, but who can meet organizations’ analytics needs and also bring departments together, aggregate siloed data, and drive outcomes in a consolidated way? This report examines 45 BI purchase decisions made over the last 18 months to determine what is driving buying decisions. Is it the solutions’ power/flexibility or the vendors’ experience/relationships? Which vendors are gaining momentum, and which are being left behind?

340B 2020:
Service Weighs Heavy in Purchasing Decisions (A Decision Insights Report)
Service Weighs Heavy in Purchasing Decisions (A Decision Insights Report)
The 340B program is considered a critical savings opportunity for covered entities and their contracted pharmacies, and over the past couple of years, KLAS has noted an increase in provider organization purchase decisions in the third-party administrator space. Some organizations are putting out RFPs because their current contracts are ending, but many others are seeking out solutions to fill the functionality and service gaps of their current 340B vendor. Newer market entrants, such as PSG and RxStrategies, represent additional options to consider alongside the already-established market players. While organizations continue to look for new technology and functionality in potential vendor partners, factors like service, support, and relationships have proven to be key to long-term customer success.
Payer/Provider Keystone 2019 White Paper:
Payer and Provider Teamwork—Making the Ideal a Reality
Payer and Provider Teamwork—Making the Ideal a Reality
Payers and provider organizations work together to deliver and pay for over 3 trillion dollars of care each year in the United States. While
this partnership in huge in size—greater than the GDP of all but 7 countries—it is an uneasy, often adversarial relationship. What could
happen if these two parties were better aligned, with better trust and communication? Is this type of partnership possible?
Working toward these answers, KLAS gathered together several dozen provider, payer, healthcare technology and other industry experts and asked them these difficult questions, searched for instances of great partnership and identified possible opportunities to catalyze greater trust and alignment.
Digital Fax 2019:
What Is Possible with Digital Fax?
What Is Possible with Digital Fax?
While healthcare industry buzz tends to focus on flashy
technologies and new approaches to care, many provider organizations are still
combating a highly analog problem: eliminating paper faxing. While exact estimates vary, most medical
communication still relies on faxing, even with nearly ubiquitous EHR adoption†.
This report provides a unique look at digital fax solutions, which aim to
support a fully digital documentation strategy. Vendors offering these
solutions tout their ability to reduce costs, address the security concerns of paper
faxing, and even solve interoperability challenges. How well do they deliver? KLAS
interviewed organizations identified by vendors as their most advanced users in
an attempt to understand what is possible with digital fax solutions.

Global Digital Pathology 2019:
What You Need to Know to Get Started
What You Need to Know to Get Started
Around the world—from Asia, to Europe, to Canada, to the United States—healthcare organizations have begun to use digital pathology technology for primary diagnostic work, not just research (for which digital pathology has been used for nearly a decade). Depending on your organization, moving to a digital pathology solution may not save you money, but it can result in benefits like improved quality and flexibility for remote reading, and it will lay the groundwork for telepathology capabilities that can help your organization deal with pathologist shortages predicted for the future.
KLAS interviewed a number of leading organizations using digital pathology solutions for primary diagnosis, focusing on reference sites from vendors in the US and Europe, to highlight what healthcare organizations need to know to get started with digital pathology.

Value-Based Care Managed Services 2019:
Which Vendor's Profile and Performance Match Your VBC Needs?
Which Vendor's Profile and Performance Match Your VBC Needs?
Despite reduced regulatory pressure, competitive and financial factors continue to drive organizations toward value-based care (VBC), yet making the transition is a complex and expensive undertaking, especially for smaller or midsize organizations, who may lack the resources and expertise of their larger peers. An array of services firms and software vendors offer managed services designed to help. These offerings vary widely, and provider organizations will want to consider several factors when choosing the firm that is right for them. This report examines eight services firms and software vendors who offer VBC managed services to examine the types of projects and organizations they work with and how well they perform.
Enterprise Imaging 2019:
Strategic Contributors to Progress
Strategic Contributors to Progress
Enterprise imaging strategies aim to align provider departments, priorities, and technologies to drive key outcomes. KLAS has watched some strategies evolve and grow while others struggle to take shape. The purpose of this report is to (1) provide an update on industry progress, (2) show how both healthcare provider organizations and vendors contribute to that progress, and (3) identify which enterprise imaging vendors act as true strategic partners that drive success.
What Is Enterprise Imaging?
KLAS defines enterprise imaging as the ability to store and/or view images across the enterprise from more than one service line or storage solution.
Value-Based Care Consulting 2019:
Finding the Best Fit in a High-Performing Market
Finding the Best Fit in a High-Performing Market
Transitioning from fee-for-service to value-based care (VBC) is a top-of-mind concern for healthcare organizations. However, previous KLAS research has revealed that VBC transformation is also the area in which healthcare executives are least familiar with which firms are well positioned to help. This report examines nine firms that provide value-based care consulting services to explore the types of work these firms do (and for who), how consistently the firms perform across clients, the outcomes they deliver, and the factors that drive these outcomes.
Worksite Health Services 2019:
Measuring Clinic Adoption and Outcomes
Measuring Clinic Adoption and Outcomes
As healthcare costs continue to climb, employers are attempting to mitigate the impact by taking measures to help manage and improve the health of their employees. A very tangible step—particularly common among self-insured employers—is to engage a worksite health services firm to provide employees (and sometimes their dependents) with primary care and related services. Employers generally agree that employees view workplace clinics as a nice benefit, but the real question is whether the clinics actually improve employee health and reduce costs. This KLAS report is intended to increase transparency in the market by shining a light on employers’ real-world experiences with various worksite health services firms.
Ophthalmology 2019:
Which Vendors Best Meet Ophthalmology Needs?
Which Vendors Best Meet Ophthalmology Needs?
As the US population ages, the demand for ophthalmology treatments, therapies, and procedures is increasing, as is the number of healthcare providers who deliver these services. The field of vendors who offer EMR software for ophthalmology practices is also changing amid strategic acquisitions and mergers. This consolidation has left large numbers of clinics wondering whether their EMR will be supported long term and which vendors can best meet their needs. This report—KLAS’ first on EMR performance in the ophthalmology market—attempts to increase transparency by examining vendor performance in areas such as ease of use, reporting, and ophthalmology-specific development.
Population Health Care Management 2019:
Adoption Early But Gaining Traction
Adoption Early But Gaining Traction
Care management is where the rubber meets the road in population health management (PHM). Many provider organizations are able to access their data, analyze it, and ascertain patient risk, but now they are pushing for better, more automated ways to manage the care of at-risk patients. Many vendors are struggling to keep pace with delivering care management (CM) capabilities due to siloed data and high variation in customer needs. Notably, several high-profile PHM vendors are not included in this research because their CM functionality is too limited, too early, and/or lacks sufficient adoption.
This report, KLAS’ first look at the use of PHM software specifically for care management, shares what functionality vendors provide and how well those tools support care managers’ work—by first pulling in data to create a longitudinal record and then providing actionable insights and helping to identify and close care gaps.

Revenue Integrity / Underpayment 2019:
High Value Reported in High-Performing Market
High Value Reported in High-Performing Market
Healthcare organizations lose money when underpayments, transfer DRGs, and denials cause insurance payments and other types of income to be left on the table. Revenue integrity firms aim to solve this problem by helping organizations retroactively recoup revenue and proactively prevent future loss. In a big win for healthcare organizations, these firms are very high performing overall—of the services segments KLAS measures, revenue integrity is rated third overall and first for value and customer loyalty. Rather than splitting hairs on the performance of a high-performing pool of options, this report focuses on firms’ individual services offerings to help organizations find the best fit (or fits, as many organizations leverage multiple firms).
Revenue Cycle Unicorns 2019:
Unique Solutions Closing Gaps
Unique Solutions Closing Gaps
The healthcare revenue cycle is a notoriously treacherous, high-stakes journey, and provider organizations who don’t have the right tools in hand are likely to get held up fighting high costs and lost revenue. While KLAS has done extensive research in the past on revenue cycle solutions, this report focuses on the solutions that take a more unique approach to tackling revenue cycle issues—in other words, revenue cycle “unicorns.” These solutions often don’t fit into KLAS’ traditional revenue cycle market segment, lack direct competitors, or are potentially disruptive to existing ways of doing business. As a result of their unique nature, the solutions rated in this report are not compared side by side but rather examined individually through the lens of customer experience.
ERP Implementation 2019:
Which Consulting Partner Is the Right Fit for Your ERP Implementation?
Which Consulting Partner Is the Right Fit for Your ERP Implementation?
Static for many years, the ERP software market has seen a resurgence of energy, thanks in part to the introduction of several cloud solutions. With this uptick in purchasing has come increased need for partners who can help organizations implement the technology and oversee the significant change management and training required—in fact, a number of interviewed organizations note that success might depend more on the implementation partner than on the actual software implemented. While some organizations choose their software vendor to manage the project, others engage a third-party firm. Which type of partner is right for your organization?
Global PACS 2019:
Vendor Performance in Shifting Market
Vendor Performance in Shifting Market
The non-US PACS market is shifting—as cloud technology and
lighter infrastructure replace aging C/S models, several traditional market
mainstays are no longer viewed as cutting-edge technology. The need for
traditional workstations has not disappeared, but healthcare organizations are
looking for vendors that are developing imaging platforms that will meet
customer needs today and in the future. Based on perspectives from 325
individuals at 272 organizations in 48 countries and territories outside the US,
this report examines global as well as regional PACS performance.
Remote Patient Monitoring 2019:
The New Age of RPM
The New Age of RPM
Almost all users of remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions get measurable outcomes (see KLAS’ 2018 RPM report), but because of factors like value-based care, new reimbursement options, and consumer-focused technology, the market and customer expectations are evolving.
This report, KLAS’ first look at RPM vendor performance, investigates how vendors fare at transitioning away from the old paradigm of rigid, hardware-based products to the new age of RPM—in which solutions empower patients and facilitate expansion of RPM use cases. Which vendors offer the technology, support, and flexibility that provider organizations need to grow their RPM programs?

Patient Engagement Ecosystem 2019:
Is the Industry Aligned?
Is the Industry Aligned?
Patient engagement is one of the most complex and overwhelming areas of healthcare IT that KLAS measures, involving dozens of relevant HIT capabilities and a slew of vendors claiming to offer them. To cut through the noise in this chaotic market, KLAS has undertaken several research initiatives, including this Patient Engagement Ecosystem, which explores how closely vendors’ claimed capabilities align with provider organizations’ patient engagement priorities. Due to the profusion of vendors in the market and the large number of technology capabilities to consider, the ecosystem encompasses this report as well as additional content on the KLAS website. For reader ease, links to this online content are provided where applicable.
Healthcare AI 2019:
Actualizing the Potential of Artificial Intelligence - CHIME Edition
Actualizing the Potential of Artificial Intelligence - CHIME Edition
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a buzzword in healthcare for several years, but how real is it? Are healthcare organizations adopting AI? How are they using it, and what outcomes are they seeing? Based on interviews with 57 trailblazing healthcare organizations, this AI primer provides insights on organizations’ needed AI capabilities, common challenges, and best-practice advice. Across the technology and healthcare industries, definitions of AI vary widely; KLAS’ working definition of AI was created for use in research regarding customer satisfaction with AI technology and was formed based on advice from many leading health systems and solution partners (called “vendors” throughout).

Interoperability Platforms 2019:
Shifting Away from Traditional HIE
Shifting Away from Traditional HIE
Interest in HIE technology exploded nearly a decade ago, and the HIE solution market has been in flux ever since. Today, the field of vendors is narrow, and many provider organizations want technology that is more than a conduit for sharing patient records—they are looking for interoperability platforms that enable the use of aggregated data for innovative use cases. To understand where vendors are in the transition from traditional HIE to interoperability platforms, KLAS interviewed organizations identified by their vendor as their most advanced users. In-depth interviews with these organizations—as well as general performance feedback from vendors’ broader customer bases—reveal wide variation in use cases and the customer experience.
Strategic M&A 2019:
A Recipe for Success with Mergers and Acquisitions
A Recipe for Success with Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions are a common occurrence in the healthcare IT industry, and recent years have seen several big announcements in the EHR space (e.g., Cerner acquiring Siemens, Allscripts acquiring McKesson). This report provides an update on recent M&A activity and—by examining customer satisfaction before, during, and one year after a merger or acquisition—answers these questions posed by investors, vendors, and healthcare organizations:

Paving the Way for Radical Change in Healthcare
Paving the Way for Radical Change in Healthcare
In September 2019, KLAS hosted its third annual investment symposium. In attendance were healthcare thought leaders from private equity and venture-capital firms, digital health companies, healthcare provider organizations, and health-system incubators. Small group discussions focused on identifying practical ways that the efforts of investors, vendors, and providers can be aligned to overcome some of healthcare’s biggest challenges. The intent of this paper is to share insights from those discussions and to highlight ways stakeholders throughout the industry can support radical change.
Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) 2019:
Standout Vendors in an Early Market
Standout Vendors in an Early Market
As healthcare IT has become increasingly interconnected, securing medical devices—many of which were not purpose built for usage on a computer network—has become a top priority for healthcare security professionals. In response, a plethora of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) software has emerged, creating high purchase energy, especially among larger organizations. To better understand this market energy, KLAS spoke with 47 unique organizations that have recently selected an IoMT vendor to determine which vendors they considered and ultimately selected, what factors contributed to their decision, and how they engaged with third-party services firms. Future KLAS research will delve further into how these IoMT vendors actually perform.
Consulting for Cerner 2019:
Consultant Expertise Is the Measure of Success
Consultant Expertise Is the Measure of Success
Organizations using Cerner’s EMR and revenue cycle software are increasingly looking for help from consulting firms to implement and optimize this software. These organizations almost universally consider Cerner’s in-house services, but those who engage Cerner for implementation or IT advisory services tend to be dissatisfied in much higher numbers than those who opt to use a third party. This report aims to help organizations find the best fit by diving into Cerner’s and other firms’ depth and breadth of experience, strategic expertise, and dedication to client success.
Credentialing 2019:
Addressing Credentialing Pain Points
Addressing Credentialing Pain Points
Having a comprehensive credentialing process is vital for healthcare organizations to avoid malpractice, protect against financial risks, and ensure patient safety. As a result of many recent M&As, organizations have larger pools of providers to credential and are increasingly looking for IT tools with robust functionality and automation to make the process more efficient. This report, a follow-up to KLAS’ first credentialing report from 2018, dives into how well solutions resolve some of credentialing’s biggest pain points—time-consuming onboarding, manual and paper processes, and the need for a single, enterprise source of truth.

Pulse Check 2019 - Epic Small Practices EMR:
New Visibility into an Unexplored Market
New Visibility into an Unexplored Market
Epic’s footprint among small practices (1–10 physicians) is extensive and growing as more of these clinics join local ACOs, affiliate with other organizations using Epic, or simply want the benefits that come with better clinical integration. Yet relatively little insight exists into how the solution performs for small practices or what successes and challenges these organizations encounter with Epic. This report is KLAS’ first attempt to shine a light on the experience of Epic users in small ambulatory settings.
Smart Pumps 2019 Decision Insights:
Energy at the Enterprise Level
Energy at the Enterprise Level
Most smart pumps today garner fairly high overall satisfaction, yet factors such as EMR interoperability, total cost of ownership, and platform consolidation lead to high variability in how often different vendors are considered. Examining 36 smart pump purchase decisions made in the last 18 months, this report considers each vendor’s market energy and the reasons smart pumps are being considered, selected, and replaced.
Global (Non-US) EMR Implementations 2019:
Who Can Best Help Me Navigate My EMR Implementation?
Who Can Best Help Me Navigate My EMR Implementation?
Given the intense nature of an EMR implementation, it is natural that most projects will experience at least a few unexpected hurdles. In fact, about 30% of healthcare organizations outside the US report going over budget and 40% report vendor-missed timelines. However, feedback from recent implementations† shows that some vendors are much more likely to help their clients stay on budget, on time, and within scope. Which vendors make the list?
† Data for this report was collected from organizations outside the US who contracted for an EMR between January 2016 and August 2018 and who are either currently implementing their solution or have already done so. Feedback was also collected from some organizations who have an ongoing implementation that started prior to January 2016.
Cerner Revenue Cycle Management, Report 3 of 4:
Cerner Customers Cautiously Optimistic
Cerner Customers Cautiously Optimistic
In August 2018, representatives from some of Cerner’s largest and most complex customers met with Cerner executives to participate in a transparent summit around revenue cycle success. The purpose of this summit was to provide insights that would enable Cerner to conduct a significant pivot to regain client confidence and deliver a world-class RCM solution. After the summit, Cerner made specific commitments to clients on when issues would be addressed. This report is a follow-up on Cerner’s progress toward those commitments.
Computer-Assisted Coding (CAC) 2019:
Is CAC Worth the Investment?
Is CAC Worth the Investment?
When first released, computer-assisted coding (CAC) solutions were slow to deliver hoped-for outcomes. If your organization is one of the many wondering whether they are now worth the investment, you should know this: 94% of adopters interviewed by KLAS would purchase their CAC solution again. To help organizations understand what outcomes are possible with a CAC solution and how well the various vendors help their customers achieve these outcomes, KLAS gathered two types of customer feedback: (1) general performance feedback from across each vendor’s customer base, and (2) in-depth, outcomes-related feedback from vendors’ deepest adopters.
Emerging HCIT Companies 2019 Midyear Update:
Top-of-Mind Healthcare Technologies
Top-of-Mind Healthcare Technologies
Annually, KLAS conducts thousands of interviews with provider organizations to better understand their experience with their healthcare IT vendors. However, not all vendors are measured by KLAS today—some emerging vendors have very small customer bases, and others work in market segments outside KLAS’ current focus. To gain insights on these emerging companies, KLAS asks interviewed organizations to share the most innovative or potentially disruptive HIT vendor they have seen or heard about recently. During the first half of 2019, 68 healthcare professionals from 66 different provider organizations responded to this question.
This report shares the top-of-mind companies and market segments that surfaced from these interviews; in the future, KLAS will monitor those companies that continue to pique market interest and gain mindshare among healthcare organizations.
