I work with a lot of smaller healthcare offices, and there are plenty of field-specific solutions like MedicFusion, ChiroTouch, et al.. Despite the relative small sizes and simpler needs for these offices, you'll still find unique complexities, business logic, and bespoke integrations.
The process of migrating from one solution to another is so involved and time-consuming that I wouldn't expect it to happen more than once in a decade, and only then if the current solution is somehow critically deficient, or their practice is changing in a way that demands expanded options.
The only potential advantage I can think of is the relatively higher frequency of new practices being opened, which creates a wider target audience of potential customers, and that's probably why there's more field-specific solutions, rather than general ePHI that supports multiple fields of practice.
- FireBeyond 2y agoOne of the more interesting ones is ESO's ESOsuite, for pre-hospital providers. It has to deal with rough and spotty connectivity even during record creation, it has to handle sync between different providers (FD arrives first, starts gathering information, EMS arrives after to transport. How do you reconcile field values? It's one thing to coalesce provider interventions, but what about demographic discrepancies? "Just give the provider a choice between options" you think - not the biggest priority when approaching the hospital and stabilizing your patient, and not when you need to contact the hospital and give them said demographics and CC/HX/VS before you arrive).
