Abstract
With the development and diffusion of EMRs and EHRs, it is necessary for healthcare providers and hospital executives to have a systematic and efficient way to quickly evaluate different EMRs and EHRs to ensure the one they select is best for their specific needs. This chapter proffers McFarlan’s Strategic Grid as an appropriate tool in this regard and discusses how it could be modified to enable systematic, effective, and efficient assessments of EMRs and EHRs.
