Frequently Asked Questions
What should an EMR RFP include?
An effective EMR RFP should include your practice overview, clinical and administrative requirements, must-have vs. nice-to-have features, integration needs (lab, pharmacy, billing), implementation timeline expectations, budget range, evaluation criteria with weights, and a structured vendor response format for easy comparison.
How many vendors should I send an EMR RFP to?
Send your RFP to 3-5 vendors for the best results. Fewer than 3 limits your negotiating leverage and comparison options. More than 5 creates evaluation fatigue and slows down the process without significantly improving your options.
How long should the EMR RFP evaluation process take?
A thorough EMR RFP evaluation typically takes 8-12 weeks from RFP distribution to vendor selection. This includes 2-3 weeks for vendor responses, 2-3 weeks for demos and scoring, and 2-4 weeks for reference checks, contract negotiation, and final decision.
