Everyone likes to see improvement, and KLAS Research’s “2015 Midterm Performance Review: Software & Services” report lets healthcare organizations in on who the power performers are when it comes to rated technologies. Thousands of healthcare providers at physician offices, clinics, hospitals, and integrated delivery networks (IDNs) in North America gave their opinions on the healthcare software they’ve been using, and scores have been tracked over time. The report, released July 30, provides feedback on healthcare technology software vendors in 93 market segments and features the software products that have demonstrated the greatest improvement in score since the “2014 Best in KLAS: Software and Services” report published in January of this year. HMT takes a look at what makes these five highest scorers exceptional.
