As the requirement for electronic health records (EHR) is drawing closer, I have spent hours researching this.  There are four basic factors I've found to use as a comparison among them. 

1) Certification - Whether it is called ARRA certification or CCHIT certification or whatever, does the product intend/guarantee they will be compliant so another EHR will not have to be adopted down the line.

2) Does the product have chiropractic templates?  We don't want to reinvent the wheel.

3) Does the product coordinate with your practice management system (PMS)?  This will save hours of duplicate entry with patients and appointments as well as sending charge information back to the PMS ensuring the claim form matches the medical records.

4) Pricing - need I say more.
