Selecting an EHR is one of the most consequential decisions your organization will make, yet too many selections are driven by polished vendor demos rather than disciplined evaluation. This session will walk through a proven 6-step process that brings structure and rigor to EHR selection. Attendees will learn how to clarify organizational goals, focus the vendor field on what truly matters, assess implementation and support realities, conduct true side-by-side comparisons against their own critical requirements, and structure contracts that protect the organization. The result: a confident, defensible selection — not a decision made by demo.
