InterSystems TrakCare vs. Meditech Electronic Health Records

Well suited if you have no developers and need something up quickly to let users get into patient data. But if you want to go beyond the layout, organization, or access of the application, it’s an uphill battle and doesn’t scale at all. If you want to be able to evolve the product, it’s not easy whatsoever
