Your EHR knows exactly what it costs you. Nobody publishes it. Chartburn collects what clinicians actually pay for their charting software, what the price hikes and exit fees really are, and how long every note takes — anonymously, in 30 seconds.
Seeded from public clinician reports; every figure is replaced by a community median with its n as receipts arrive. Cells with fewer than 3 reports are suppressed.

Vendors never publish pricing history. Clinicians remember. Was → now → when. All entries below are community-reported.
The dataset that doesn’t exist anywhere — including the research literature. If you’re on Epic at a hospital, this is your column: you can’t choose your EHR, and your minutes still count.

This table is built entirely from your reports. Start it →
Five fields, 30 seconds, no login, no name, no NPI. What you pay, what you use, what you do. Add the optional stuff if you have 30 more.
Every figure carries its n. Small cells are suppressed so one report can’t define a vendor. No star ratings, no rants — structured facts vendors can’t astroturf.
Negotiating a renewal, picking a first EHR, writing a story, filing a complaint — a median with an n beats forty forum comments from 2023.
