This month WebPT was highlighted in an OVUM Report titled, “The Ambulatory EHR Competitive Landscape:Prominent Market Factors.” We are proud to be in the company of other well-recognized EHR vendors such as Allscripts, eClinicalWorks and Vitera Intergy. The report written by OVUM analyzes the ever changing factors within the EHR landscape and provides recommendations to providers approaching EHR implementation.

Who is OVUM and why do they matter? OVUM is an international research and advisory firm that specializes in advice on the commercial impact of technology & market changes in telecoms, software and IT services. With over 150 analysts covering a broad set of technologies and markets across the globe, OVUM provides data on the latest trends and innovations.

There seems to be plenty of research on EHR implementation within the hospital space, but the niche-market players (especially therapists) have been left out of much the discussion. The OVUM Report gives recommendations to the niche players on what the trends currently are in choosing an EHR.
