As of 2014, 74 percent of all non-federal acute care hospitals had adopted an EHR, according to HHS data. Still, some providers are looking to replace their systems. Software Advice, an EHR comparison site, has released its rankings of the most popular EHR products.
Software Advice's ranking is based on its proprietary popularity metric that factors in the number of product users, how often the brand name and related information are searched for via Google each month and the social media presence of the brand.
"By combining all of these sources of information into a single score, we reveal not only which vendors have garnered the most users, but also how much customer loyalty and overall consumer interest these vendors have inspired," according to Software Advice.
According to this popularity metric, here are the 10 most popular EHR products.
1. Epic Systems
2. Allscripts
3. Practice Fusion
4. Cerner
5. MEDITECH
6. eClinicalWorks
7. Medios
