Additionally, the Verona, Wisconsin-based health IT giant was named the top Overall Physician Practice Vendor, won Best in KLAS awards in eight segments, and won Category Leader awards in four segments.
Pivot Point Consulting was named the top Overall IT Services Firm thanks to consistently strong performance across several market segments, including HIT implementation, advisory services, HIT staffing, and technical services.
