TEPR 2007 EMRCompare
This year, Medical Records Institute has replaced its awards program for EMRS with its new EMRCompare program. MRI designed this new program to address the shortcomings of other sources of information about EMR systems, which do not cover the full range of EMR functionalities and do not compare EMRs by cost or usability. The following companies are participating in EMRCompare usability demonstrations at TEPR. These will be recorded and made available on the EMRCompare website, which will also provide potential buyers with information about product functionalities and costs. Ultimately the site will be searchable to allow comparisons of products by category (e.g., size/specialty of physician practice), range of functionalities, costs, and usability.

EMRCompare participants include:

ABELSoft Corp.
Amazing Charts
Bond Technologies
e-MDs, Inc.
iMedica
iSALUS Healthcare
Medical Communication Systems, Inc.
MediNotes Corp.
MedNet System, Inc.
Noteworthy Medical Systems
Pulse Systems, Inc.
Sage Software
SSIMED
Waiting Room Solutions
