The total cost of EHR ownership

Steven R Eastaugh. Healthc Financ Manage. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

Consider total cost of ownership, not just initial cost of acquisition and annual maintenance, when reviewing electronic health record (EHR) system bids. Support costs--a key part of total cost of ownership--include FTEs dedicated to the system. The long-term costs of an EHR system can vary dramatically (up to 200 percent) depending on which system is selected.
