Presentation Overview
We’ll provide an unbiased look at who the big players are now, the differentiated disruptors and who plays well with others—or doesn’t
The state of the industry
› How have these developments impacted the marketplace?
› What are the new tools?
› How can we support existing systems?
Goals
› Identify the big players in the EHR marketplace
› Gain objective understanding of their customers, reputations and what makes them different
› Name new vendors, their offerings and what to ask them in a selection process
› Ask informed IT vendor evaluation questions (e.g., function, response to changing dynamics and technologies)

The fully integrated EHR needs to support the continuum of care …
Essential Elements of a Fully Integrated EHR
PATIENT CARECONTINUUM
MANAGING FOR CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS
InpatientCare
SpecialistPrimary Care Long‐TermCare
HomeCare
Prevention UrgentCare
DiagnosticAncillariese.g., imaging
EmergencyCare
RehabCare
SkilledNursing
End‐of‐Life Care
Traditional focus of hospitals within the “care continuum”
Extension of capabilities to ACO, partnerships
Extension of capabilities to community, teaching, research
Treatment Ancillariese.g., surgery

Scope tends toward clinical enterprise/health system, affiliated physicians and patients/families
Delivered through unified/single database platform and/or interoperable solutions; in‐house or remote hosted solutions
Small group of dominant commercial vendors; new cloud‐based solutions emerging but immature
Focus is on patient‐centric, enterprise solutions for clinicals (acute, ambulatory, subacute, departmental, specialties, ancillaries), access and revenue cycle, population health, and analytics
A Deeper Dive into the Vendor Marketplace

A Deeper Dive into the Vendor Marketplace (cont’d)
Vendors enabling faster deployment through robust “starter” systems, prepackaged content and more streamlined implementation methodologies
Major functional emphasis on:
Process/workflow automation to improve quality/efficiency/effectiveness
Automated information capture and delivery
Clinical activity based on evidence‐based protocols
Proactive, “intelligent” alerts to improve patient care
Analytics to support outcomes management, performance improvement, quality, population health, etc.
Personalization (not customization) based on user needs/practice
Integration of multimedia, biomedical devices, wearables, emerging technologies

BUT … the market is ripe for disruption with cloud‐based, leading‐edge technology
Emerging Vendors Are Making Waves
Few new market entrants have been successful
Development partnerships with vendors
have largely failed
In‐house–developed solutions are largely being replaced with commercial
solutions

› Cerner, Epic and MEDITECH are moving more and more to integrated solutions vs. interoperability across the continuum of care
› McKesson Paragon is still missing many modules requiring interfaced solutions
› Health information exchange is here to stay
Hospitals will continue to have partnerships with organizations with different EHR vendors
Meaningful use regulations require the exchange of clinical data with EHR
› Future technologies
