Background & Methodology
Over 380,000 practice management and physician leaders and other users ranking from hospital executives, clinicians, specialists and front-line implementation veterans are invited to participate in the 2014 annual Black Book EMR EHR eHealth initiative satisfaction survey. Non-invitation receiving participants must complete a verifiable profile, utilize valid corporate email address and are then included as well.
The Black Book survey web instrument is open to respondents and new participants each year from July 1 to October 31at http://blackbookrankings.com and http://blackbookpolls.com Only one ballot per corporate email address is permitted and changes of ballots during the open polling period require a formal email request process to ensure integrity.
Over 23,000 qualified users of systems with validated corporate/valid email addresses ranked 509 EMR-EHR suppliers offering individual or bundled arrangements as part of the Black Book annual survey, conducted via web survey instruments. Additionally 22,000 about-to-be users answered questions about budgeting, vendor familiarity and vendor selection processes but current non-user ballots are not counted in the vendor ranking process of client satisfaction.
The four most highly utilized systems of EMR systems are included as subsets. 2,218 users evaluated the segment of mobile EHR applications, virtualized and native. 1,807 users assessed their ambulatory EHR module and 411 commented on their inpatient-related or hospital owned practice mobile EHR system
