How to ‘Find the Best’

December 17, 2012

 


The EHRCompare.com website was designed especially for those who still haven’t installed electronic health records (also known as electronic medical records) but are planning to do so. A self-described resource to “Find the Best EHR,” the website compares and reviews “405 of the most popular EHRs.” While it lists software for a wide variety of specialties, including optometry and ophthalmology, a search box enables users to narrow their review to the specific one in which they are interested. Other search criteria allow users to also choose the setting in which they practice as well as how the software is hosted, whether “in the cloud” or “locally maintained.” In addition, for each software program featured, the website includes a checklist indicating all of the features of each product, such as practice management and eyecare-specific features and more.
