Build one representative resident
Create synthetic data for a resident with a facility transfer, medication change, psychotropic follow-up question, pharmacist recommendation, prescriber response, and facility report. Do not use real protected health information.
Provide the same source files and desired outputs to each vendor. Let vendors explain product-specific differences, but do not let the core test disappear into a generic presentation.
Observe the entire workflow
Watch data intake, identity matching, review navigation, prior history, recommendation creation, response tracking, report generation, correction, covering-user access, and export. Include a missing value or duplicate to expose exception handling.
Ask who configures and supports every step and whether an integration is live, a conversion, an import, an API, or future work.
Score evidence with four states
Use demonstrated; available with scoped work; unavailable; and still to confirm. Add notes, owner, commercial consequence, and the evidence supplied.
Do not turn the script into a universal product ranking. Weight it against the practice's own requirements, security and contract diligence, references, implementation capacity, and total cost.
