Health Systems Ask AI Which Platforms to Evaluate. Epic Gets Cited. You Don't.
Healthcare IT spending hit $250B+ in 2025 and CIOs increasingly use AI to shortlist vendors. When a VP of Clinical Informatics asks ChatGPT for EHR alternatives or telehealth platforms, the same 3 names appear. If yours isn't one of them, that RFP never includes you.
Your Buyers Use AI for Clinical Vendor Research
Health system executives, clinical informaticists, and procurement teams use AI to evaluate technology because the healthcare IT landscape is vast and high-stakes. These are the exact queries shaping your pipeline right now:
“What are the best EHR alternatives to Epic for mid-size hospitals?”
Displacement query — health systems paying $50M+ for Epic want options
“Top telehealth platforms for enterprise health systems in 2026”
Enterprise buying query — the CIO is building a vendor shortlist now
“Compare clinical decision support software platforms”
Comparison query — AI lists 3-5 platforms. You need to be on this list
“Best medical device software for FDA regulatory compliance”
Compliance-specific — high deal value, long sales cycle, sticky revenue
“What HIPAA-compliant patient engagement platforms do hospitals use?”
Discovery query — procurement teams use this to shortlist vendors for evaluation
Here's What AI Tells Health System Buyers Today
We tested healthcare IT queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. The same incumbents dominate every answer — and you're nowhere:
Query: “Best EHR platforms for hospitals”
Query: “Top telehealth software for health systems”
Query: “Clinical software for patient engagement”
