What Should I Do?
While the market for computer-based patient record systems is still evolving, and much progress will be made over the next few years, competitive pressures may require you to act quickly and choose from among the available solutions. Only you can ultimately determine the best strategic path. Gather the information. Evaluate the reasonable alternatives in a quantitative way. Determine which vendor most closely fits your business personality and requirements.
In addition to using the Web, which is reasonable starting place, active participation in standards groups and professional organizations such as HIMSS will open up a world of contacts and information to help steer you to the best solution.
