## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank them for an outpatient clinic, with the caveat that the right answer swings a lot on clinic size and whether you want the vendor doing your billing.
> 
> **1. Elation Health** - My default recommendation for independent primary care and small clinics (roughly 1-10 providers). It won Best in KLAS for Small Practice Ambulatory EMR/PM in both 2025 and 2026, and it has the strongest clinician satisfaction scores among primary-care-focused EHRs. The chart-centric design means less clicking per visit, which is the thing that actually burns physicians out. Weakness: lighter on complex specialty workflows and deep RCM.
> 
> **2. athenahealth (athenaOne)** - The one I'd name for anything from ~10 providers up, or any clinic that wants billing offloaded. Best in KLAS 2026 for Ambulatory EHR *and* Practice Management in the 11-75 physician band, plus Overall Independent Physician Practice Suite three years running. Its payer-connectivity and denial-management are genuinely better than the field because every client feeds the same rules engine. Pricing is a percentage of collections, typically ~4-7%, so a clinic collecting $50k/month pays roughly $2,500-3,500/month - great
