Have you heard of The Black Book Rankings?
They are listed as “the unbiased source for polling, surveys, market research, opinion mining and customer satisfaction results, and recognized globally.”
In their most recent “2013 State of Replacement EHR Market Study” that was just released, they report on the technology market for health. With the desperate attempt to digitalize medical records for those that have not done so yet along with all those currently using various vendors for their electronic health records, three out of every four health professionals responded to the survey with a “must have” desire and approach for mobile device adoption to assist in EHR operations. This includes iPads, iPhones, Androids and other tablets.
Since many who had jumped on the bandwagon of digital adoption early in the game are now expressing dissatisfaction with their vendors due to lack of support, this survey seeks to compare the various systems and report on the ten voted best by those responding.
They are listed in the chart below.
