Choosing the right electronic health record (EHR) is dependent on a number of factors, including:

	Practice goals
	Office size
	Technological capabilities
	Expertise
	Cost

With so many office-dependent issues to consider, it is no wonder that most practices consider the process to be daunting. While there is no “ideal” EHR that will work for every cardiovascular practice, the potential benefits of EHR use outweigh any concerns about the selection process.

The American College of Cardiology has developed a number of tools to assist practices in choosing the best EHR for their needs. For case studies, information on federal and regulatory programs and FAQs on how to choose the optimal EHR, click here.
