This resource is the second in a series of three EHR Transition resources created from the collective EHR transition experiences of several health centers interviewed by HITEQ. See the other two resources here: EHR Transition- Motivation and Planning and EHR Transition- Implementation.
This tip sheet covers two main areas:
- EHR vendor solicitation, including developing a formal health center-focused request for proposal (RFP), and identifying the vendors to include in the selection process;
- EHR vendor selection, including how to score RFP responses, how to conduct EHR demonstrations, and how to reach the final decision.
