Best in KLAS: Epic is top overall software suite, once again

For the eleventh straight year Epic has earned the top spot in the annual Best in KLAS Awards, named Overall Software Suite in the research firm’s Best in KLAS 2021 Software & Services report.

KLAS has been busy in the past few weeks, with a pair of studies on interoperability among its recent reports.

Best in KLAS – which assesses some 1,200 products and services from more than 450 vendors – is based on more than 22,000 evaluations the firm conducted in 2020. Researchers have spoken to clinicians and staff at more than 4,500 hospitals and 2,500 clinics.

“Each year, thousands of healthcare professionals across the globe take the time to share their voice with KLAS,” said Adam Gale, president of KLAS Research in a statement. “They know that sharing their perspective helps vendors improve and helps their peers make better decisions.

“These conversations are a constant reminder of how necessary accurate, honest, and impartial reporting is in the healthcare industry,” he added. “Provider and payer organizations are demanding excellence from their software and services vendors, and they know that Best in KLAS sets the standard.”

Here is a select list of some of the category winners from this year’s report – the full version of which can be accessed at the KLAS website.
