“Single-solution offerings integrating electronic health records, revenue cycle management, coding, and practice management tools are on track to maintain the foothold among specialty practices in 2018,” says Doug Brown, managing partner of Black Book Research, in a release. “It’s clear that even in this tightening and increasingly complex ambulatory EHR market, specialist-centric vendors that innovate through integrated EHR, RCM, Coding, and PM tools are continuing to lead the small specialist practice market. By providing a product that is a vital part of the users’ workflow, patient coordination, and critical digital capabilities, independent and network-affiliated physicians can be successful in the value-based care environment through these systems.”
