A critical analysis of top Oncology EHR vendors

By now, most community practice Oncologists should be convinced that they require a specialty-specific EHR for their practice. This is because oncology is amongst the most complex and data-intensive of medical specialties. It requires a full complement of features such as tumor staging, data-intensive workflows, chemotherapy dosing and administration, survivorship care; features that are not available in a generic system.

However, added functionality does not necessarily mean added complexity, something that most EHR vendors do not understand. One of the biggest complaints that Oncologists have against EHR vendors is their lack of focus on making the system easier to use. Moreover, most Oncology vendors are selling highly priced solutions that might meet the budgetary requirements of large cancer centers but not community practice Oncologists.
