How to Choose Clinical Software
Clinical software encompasses electronic health records (EHRs/EMRs), clinical decision support (CDS), e-prescribing, practice management, telehealth, and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) used to document, analyze, and act on patient data. Buyers range from solo practices and ambulatory surgery centers to multi-hospital IDNs; over 75% of office-based clinicians and 96% of hospitals in the United States use an EHR certified by the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP) , so most procurements are replacements, optimizations, or specialty/SaMD add-ons rather than greenfield deployments.
