EHR Vendor Pricing Comparison
Although TMA doesn't guarantee pricing figures or complete accuracy at all times, TMA will work with each vendor to update the information as needed so the tool is as dynamic and up-to-date as possible. Please note: The prices provided are simply ranges for those products and they do not necessarily reflect actual final cost. The information below is considered to be proprietary and is meant to be viewed by members only. It should not be shared with other vendors.

These tables represent vendor costs only in an effort to provide a vendor product comparison. Physicians will encounter additional implementation costs. The TMA therefore advises physicians to consider performing a detailed cost analysis to determine their actual EHR implementation costs. These total costs can sometimes exceed 2-3 times the vendor's initial estimate.
Common examples of additional costs and options are:
- Other training costs (computer-based tutorials, hired trainers…)
- Office staff back fill costs (while staff are in training, assisting with design, development and/or implementation)
- Temporary labor (initial EHR data entry, scanning the paper-based medical records)
- Self-service kiosks including software and services (Note: some EHR vendors provide this at an additional cost)
- Temporarily reduced income (reduced schedule at EHR go-live; amount is variable and dependent primarily on the practice and EHR functionalities installed)
- Office construction and furniture (shelves, counters, wall mounts, power outlets, chairs, carts, tables…)
- Technical upgrade of office infrastructure (i.e. wireless network, upgraded network connectivity)
- Additional hardware and devices including networking devices, scanners, printers or kiosk devices
- Consultants or project manager to facilitate the implementation (large practices in particular should strongly consider using a consultant to help manage the EHR selection, implementation and post-implementation phases
- Other technical services
The TMA recommends that physicians implement the EHR's practice management system if one is available; alternatively, the EHR should be interfaced to the physician's practice management system in order to optimize their office's workflow.
