What does a Best of Breed system allow providers to do?

A Best of Breed system allows providers to combine the highest quality systems from multiple vendors. This approach enables healthcare organizations to select the best individual software solutions for specific tasks, rather than being restricted to a single vendor that offers a complete system. By integrating the best solutions available, providers can optimize their operations and enhance patient care through superior functionalities tailored to their needs.

In contrast, relying on a single vendor for all technological needs tends to limit the options available and may not harness the best capabilities for each specific requirement. Implementing only in-house developed systems restricts the provider to internal resources, which may not be on par with market-leading solutions. Lastly, limiting choices to only two vendors does not provide the same flexibility and range of options that a Best of Breed strategy promotes, potentially resulting in suboptimal system performances.
