“I’m looking into a new EMR for our just incorporated small group practice. I’m diligently doing my Google research. Frankly, I’m not at all impressed by the quality of the information I’m finding out there. Both the professional and the customer reviews I’m finding leave a lot to be desired.
The tone of many of the reviews I’m reading makes me wonder how reliable and objective they are. A suspicious number of customer reviews are blandly positive, as if they were written by a corporate drone in a cubicle somewhere. They’re full of industry buzzwords and praise: “Met all of my expectations ” and “is everything I could ask for in an EMR system.”
I’ve read enough patient and restaurant reviews online to know that reviews generally fall into two categories: angry customer and worshipful. The former almost always outnumber the latter by a margin of 4:1 But not here. Here its the other way around! The tone of the professional reviews also seems strangely subdued.
At least one popular review site (Software Advice) appears to take a direct commission from EMR vendors for each referral. They say this doesn’t impact them and that they’re objective, but this clearly biases them in my mind. What resources do people recommend?
And why doesn’t THCB run user reviews???

I totally agree. It seems like every review is written by the software publisher and doesn’t even have the cost published in the article. I ended up with open-EMR, but that was a total shot in the dark. Now I am looking for the utility to pre-calculate patient totals, and except for patientcalculator.com i have found nothing, and I there are no reviews of this product . I wish there would be comprehensive third party reviews, not paid for by the software publisher.
Excellent observation.
The other challenge is that the software is only half of the equation. How well it is configured for your Practice , trained and implemented are even more critical. You can have the same software as the Practice next door but have a totally different experience. Some vendors offer direct support or the option of a local host/ support which can add great value.
I wrote a short blog about PM-EHR selections http://hautuconsulting.com/how-to-select-pm-ehr-software/
Having worked with so many Vendors, I do agree that there is a bias. Not only in online reviews, but also in ‘testimonials’. Sites like Sofware Advice does take money for referrals, many vendors ask their ‘happy’ clients to write good reviews. There may or may not be something for those clients, but certainly goodwill and good treatment and support are there to follow. I also wrote about a similar topic a while ago.
