It's useful to know, how long a particular vendor is in the same business. Of course, longevity doesn't guarantee the quality of product but it gives a glimpse of stability of the vendor company. Seek the customer profile of Vendor Company and enquire the customers if possible to know what their satisfaction level is with EMR software provided by particular vendor. Most of the time you will get genuine feedback from these customers.

Enquire about the management good will and financial stability of the vendor. As your task don't complete with just buying EMR software. You may need the maintenance/update services from the same vendor. So it is safe if you buy a product from a well established company.
