We've narrowed down our selection of EMR vendors to CPSI, McKesson Paragon, and Meditech Client Server. Any input on any of these systems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!:)

I wish I had some input for you. All of the training and experience I have is with Epic modules. From what I have seen in most areas of the country, Epic is the "hot" product and has been for many years.

Of the 3 you mentioned, I've only implemented Meditech's modules - Client Server - PCM, PCS, EMR, ITS, OE, ORM, EDM; Magic - PCM.
Without more details about what needs your organization is looking to meet, what type of facility/organization - inpt, outpt, medical center, multi-site facility, acute care, critical access hospital; strategic goals, etc - my input would be - There is no perfect system and an organization should start with a needs assessment, gap analysis, RFP, RFI to thoroughly understand what they are looking for and what is out there in the market- Good Luck
We are a Critical Access Hospital in rural Missouri. We have some systems in the hospital - Healthland for financials, Aprima for clinics, Orchard for the lab, and we use Brit PACS. We, however, do not have an EMR. We are wanting a system that will eventually enable us to meet meaningful use. We will be keeping Orchard, Aprima, and th Brit PACS. The rest will go.
