Small hospitals looking to go large with clinical information systems

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 by Matt Snodgrass
In struggling to meet meaningful use guidelines, more and more small to mid-sized hospitals (up to 300 beds) are looking to larger vendors to fulfill their clinical IT needs.  In addition to the current lot of community hospital vendors like CPSI, Healthland, HMS, and Keane, these hospitals are leaning more towards the big names to assist with their clinical decision support system implementations.   

Is this due to a perception that larger vendors have a better handle on the industry?  That they have more resources available and are better positioned to handle to rapidly changing dynamics of the market?  Or the perceived higher clinician adoption rate of these systems?  Tough to say, but the shift has certainly begun.  
 
As most large hospitals have already chosen a CIS, this area, the small to medium bed-range hospitals, provides the largest pool of potential clients for CIS vendors.  As one of the leading providers, Cerner/Multum is positioned to support both large and small-to-medium sized hospitals.  Powered by Lexi-Comp's drug information and drug interaction database, and including drug dosage calculators, drug classifications, pediatric dosing charts, and clinical guidelines, Cerner/Multum is a partner that will not only provide the content you need, but will help you through the integration, deployment, and training process.
