Healthcare providers at every level face mounting pressures to improve care and reduce medical errors, adhere to strict patient-privacy mandates, ensure secu-rity and regulatory compliance, move from paper to electronic records, and trim costs wherever possible.

BLI’s PaceSetter Awards aim to recognize the document imaging vendors on the van-guard in providing wide-ranging portfolios to suit the needs of key vertical markets. For this in-depth study focused on the needs of healthcare customers, BLI invited all leading document imaging OEMs to complete an exhaustive questionnaire detailing their health-care-relevant offerings in eight key areas: Hardware, Software, Service and Support, Professional Services, Security, Industry Certifications, Vertical Leadership, and Overall Value. OEMs that opted to participate were also asked to make key personnel available for in-depth interviews with the BLI analyst team to give a more complete picture of the vendors’ strategies for the healthcare market. After gathering all the data, BLI’s team used a proprietary rating scale to calculate point totals in the key areas studied. Since different segments of the healthcare market have different needs, BLI’s analysts created one rating rubric weighted to reflect the challenges faced by large hospital networks, and a second geared toward multi-site group practices.
