Thousands of Providers Rank Healthcare Software and Services in Annual Best in KLAS Report

    OREM, UT, January 30, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- New leaders, new categories, new Best in KLAS segments and a cosmetic overhaul to improve digestibility are some of the highlights of the Best in KLAS 2013: Software and Services report.

The report, which ranks vendors and their solutions, saw some changes in the top-ranked spots from last year's rankings. Additionally, based on feedback from providers, the report now includes the following categories: Computer-Assisted Coding, Revenue Cycle - Charge Capture, and Go-Live Support. Also, Health Information Exchange (HIE) and Patient Portals are now Best in KLAS segments.

To make the data as easy to consume as possible, KLAS overhauled the look and feel of the annual report.

"We listened to the providers, and these are the results," said Adam Gale, CEO and president of KLAS Research. "This report isn't about KLAS. It is a reflection of thousands of providers who wanted to be heard and counted. That is the reason top-performing vendors should be proud of their achievements."
