EHR Concepts has been awarded a Bronze 2022 Stevie Award in the Women Run Workplace of the Year category, following a silver award in 2017 and a bronze in 2016. Much of the company’s success can be attributed to the small but mighty team of women leaders and talented individuals behind it who are committed to operating with the highest morality, ethics, and integrity. As someone who has remained emotionally invested in building up women from the inception of her career, April Reed, the Founder and CEO of EHR Concepts, has created a force in the industry built on determination, strong relationships, and woman leadership.
On her list of many accomplishments are the contributions she has made to making health information technology (IT) easier. This year EHRC celebrates 15 years in business. It all began when April took her passion as a sought-after consultant for EHR implementations and training and founded her own consulting firm with just one other employee – her mom. Now she has surrounded herself with a team of out-of-the-box thinkers, who are EHR trainers, implementers, optimizers, integrators, convertors, passionate tinkerers and women that truly understand the client’s challenges and provide solutions fit for their unique organization.
As a seasoned health IT expert April has harnessed her unique leadership style and knowledge of the healthcare industry to achieve the triple aim of better care, better outcomes and lower costs. April has proven her credibility with features in The Wall Street Journal, Inc., Entrepreneurs’ Organization, Business RadioX, and was a recipient of the Barack Obama Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award by The Global Women Empowerment Foundation, following making it on the cover of Women of Wealth Magazine. Additionally, with her leadership, EHR Concepts has been recognized for being a great place to work by Best in Biz.
“We want to positively impact our community, our industry, and the world around us. We believe each person holds a responsibility to be a conduit for positive change and we strive to support others in their endeavors.

She shared this about the company culture, “Ask anyone on our team, ‘Why EHR Concepts?’ and the answer is the same – we are an open, honest, and fun-loving group. Yes, we solve our clients’ difficult technology challenges, implement, configure and optimize electronic health records software, train and increase EHR adoption, etc., but we do so in an open and collaborative environment, which is the cornerstone of every successful partnership.” The company strives every day to deliver no-nonsense, caring, personalized expert services to EHR users everywhere, successfully implementing complex EHR projects for the past 15 years.
As April continues to be an inspiration to women everywhere, especially in the health IT space, she and the team at EHR Concepts desire to be defined by more than just success. “We want to positively impact our community, our industry, and the world around us. We believe each person holds a responsibility to be a conduit for positive change and we strive to support others in their endeavors. We discipline ourselves to implement change and have the strength to do so even if it’s beyond comfort levels.”
