KLAS: EMRs Are First Source For Population Health Management Functionality for Providers by Jasmine Pennic
Enterprise EMR vendors are the number-one source for population health management functionality, according to the latest KLAS report. The latest KLAS report “Population Health 2014 Perception: Who Are Providers Betting On?” found that despite a veritable flood of new best-of-breed entrants into the marketplace, providers are having an increasingly hard time finding a one-stop PHM solution.
For the report, KLAS spoke to 105 provider organizations across the country about their population health solutions and their future plans surrounding this segment. These providers mentioned a total of 69 vendors as currently playing a role or being considered for the future.
“With so many new vendors and solutions, it is getting increasingly confusing for providers to know which vendors in the population health market can help deliver their needed functionality,” said report author Mark Allphin. “The dream of the one-stop shop that meets all of population health’s needs is not yet a reality, but some providers have told us that they hope their enterprise vendor will eventually be that one-stop shop.”
