Community Hospital EHR - 2015


Other Vendors Mentioned in this Report

Introduction

In the wake of the HITECH Act, the Affordable Care Act, and the introduction of federal Meaningful Use guidelines, the EHR market in the United States has grown exponentially. The US is expected to remain the largest EHR market globally, and will total $9.3 billion by the end of this year.1

Meaningful use has also brought with it the need for more documentation to be done by physicians, placing a strain on providers’ time and causing frustration when EHR systems do not meet workflow needs. With the quick adoption and proliferation of EHRs, some providers have found that usability and functionality were not attended to as vendors developed their systems.

As the EHR market has matured, and providers have faced the reality of meaningful use, some hospitals have decided to replace their EHR. peer60 recently gathered feedback from 277 providers in community hospitals, and nearly 20% of those hospitals are actively looking to replace their EHR vendors.

Though a steady stream of hospital consolidation over the past several years may account for some of the shift, a solid 7% were currently going through a merger or acquisition at the time of this study. It should be noted, however, that fully 54% were unhappy with the usability of their EHR system.

So which vendors are top of mind to meet providers’ needs? The current community hospital EHR market is fragmented with a larger number of vendors holding relatively small, individual shares of the market. Mind share is much more consolidated toward Epic, Cerner, and Meditech. The following section shares some key findings on the current state of the community hospital EHR market.

Key Findings

53% of providers have attested for stage 2 meaningful use, but a sizeable portion of hospitals said they were still in the middle of attesting. 11% had not yet started attesting for stage 2 meaningful use. Of those that had not yet attested, reasons varies. Some said they were still attesting stage 1, some said their hospital was not ready to attest for stage 2 and a handful said their vendor was simply not ready.

Providers that have Attested for Meaningful Use - Overall


Providers identified their biggest EHR challenges. Reliability and uptime was rarely an issue for providers, and service was meeting providers’ needs the majority of the time. Most providers felt that they were getting support for strategic objectives from their EHR vendor. However, usability was an issue across the board, and many providers felt that their system was missing functionality.
