I came across this list of Top 10 Hospital EHR vendors by installed systems on Dark Daily (a great resource, particularly if you’re into Labs). The data is a little dated, but I thought it would be interesting to consider the numbers in 2011 and how they might look different today. Here’s the list:
Vendor Name | Total Installations | Percent of Installations |
• Meditech | 1212 | 25.50% |
• Cerner | 606 | 12.80% |
• McKesson | 573 | 12.10% |
• Epic Systems | 413 | 8.70% |
• Siemens Healthcare | 397 | 8.40% |
• CPSI | 392 | 8.30% |
• Healthcare Management Systems | 347 | 7.30% |
• Self-developed | 273 | 5.80% |
• Healthland | 223 | 4.70% |
• Eclipsys (Bought by Allscripts) | 185 | 3.90% |
This list was taken from the HIMSS Analytics database. I wish I had access so I could compare these numbers for 2012. The interesting thing is that I’m not sure the Hospital EHR vendor numbers would be all that much different. Epic is the media darling, but its focus is squarely on the large hospital systems so they often lag behind when it comes to total installations.
