#11: What to Consider When Choosing an EHR

Choosing the right electronic health record (EHR) can make or break the workflow in your private practice. In this episode, I break down how to evaluate your options using a simple acronym: E-H-R.

If you’re launching a new clinic, this framework will help you make a confident, informed decision that supports both your patient care and business operations.

Here’s what E-H-R stands for:

E – Efficiency:

How well does the system support your day-to-day clinic flow? We talk speed, usability, and whether it saves you (or costs you) time.

H – How Much It Costs:

Not just the sticker price — I walk you through hidden fees like setup, training, add-ons, and long-term contracts that could impact your bottom line.

R – Reportability:

Can you easily run the reports you need for practice management, quality metrics, and decision-making? If not, you may be flying blind.
