No Conflicts of Interest

MSP believes an EMR Selector has to have no conflicts of interest with any of the EMR developers. Here is our disclosure of what we DON'T do.

  • We don't do EMR consulting to group practices. If you want our advice, read our book - Successfully Choosing an EMR, 12-Critical Decisions, published by Wiley Press.


  • We don't ask or accept "Finder's Fees" or commissions from any EMR developers under any circunstances. Many so-called free EMR sites sollicit and accept such fees from EMR developers whose systems you might select.


  • We don't run national conferences (like HIMSS or other organizations) and sell exhibit space to EMR developers, in the process deriving over half of their incomes from such fees. Suppose a well-known vendor spends over $100K on booth space, and another spends $5K, and both systems have flaws. Is the organization as likely to mention the flaws of the large EMR developers as they are to mention the flaws of the small ones?


  • We don't serve on the boards or management teams of EMR developers.


  • We DO pay to have over 40 critical assertions of each EMR developer's data independently verified before we allow their profiles to go-live on the MSP EHR Selector™ where you see it.

MSP charges EMR developers approximately $800 per year to be listed on this site - half of that goes to vetting their products and the other half to website development and marketing. By being independent and unconflicted, we deliver a better product than our competitors.
