Compare EMR gives medical practices a vendor-neutral place to learn how EMR and EHR software works before they sign a contract. This page explains how we source, compare, and correct our content.
What we rely on
Where we describe ONC certification, real-world testing, or the CHPL, we cite HealthIT.gov directly. Where we describe program requirements or conditions of participation, we cite CMS.gov. Where a fact touches your HIPAA risk analysis obligation or NIST/HITRUST frameworks, we cite HHS.gov and NIST publications by name. We do not restate a vendor's marketing claim as fact without a way to verify it independently, such as a CHPL listing.
How we build comparisons
Our buying guides and comparisons are built around frameworks — certification, interoperability, specialty fit, contract terms, total cost of ownership — rather than star ratings or ranked lists of named products. We don't sell software, take vendor commissions, or publish pay-to-play placements, and we don't quote specific vendor prices, since EMR pricing is negotiated and varies by practice size and contract term.
Corrections
Found an error — a broken source link, an outdated certification reference, or a factual mistake? Tell us and we correct it. Use the contact page to reach us.
Update cadence
Articles are reviewed periodically and updated when a cited regulation, CHPL listing, or standard changes. Each article notes when it was last updated.
Independence
Compare EMR is an independent educational resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any EMR or EHR vendor. This site is part of a network of educational resources operated by Medcurity, Inc.
