One approach to getting the maximum value out of EHR vendor meetings is by submitting a formal request for proposal (RFP). An RFP is a carefully structured, detailed outline that includes all of the decisions your practice has made so far about its HIT needs plus information about your practice — number of physicians, specialty, location or locations, current IT hardware and software, and so on. The California Medical Association has created this sample RFP that you can use or alter to fit the needs of your practice.
