Proved to be the best

Esko patient information system has consistently been rated as the leading patient information system in Finland in national user studies. Esko has been ranked best in its category in the “Patient Information Systems as Physicians’ Tools” studies conducted in 2010, 2014, 2017, 2021 and 2025. In addition, Esko was rated as the best information system in studies conducted by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) among registered nurses in 2020 and practical nurses in 2022.

Patient information systems as physicians’ tools – study results

In the 2025 study, Esko was rated as the best overall patient information system used in hospitals. In this independent evaluation, Esko achieved the highest overall score and stood out particularly in usability and information flow.

According to users, Esko is fast and logical to use, easy to learn, and well suited to supporting everyday clinical work. Routine tasks can be completed smoothly, and information flows reliably both between professionals and between professionals and patients.

The study also showed that differences between patient information systems have narrowed over the past four years. Despite this convergence, Esko has maintained a strong position, especially in terms of workflow efficiency and practical usability. The system is continuously developed based on user feedback to ensure it continues to meet the changing needs of healthcare in the future.

Study on Patient Information Systems Supporting Nurses’  Work

The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare rated Esko as the best information system in the public hospital category of a study carried out among nurses in 2020.

In the study on information systems supporting the work of nurses in various work environments (Tietojärjestelmät sairaanhoitajien työn tukena eri toimintaympäristöissä: kokemuksia tuotemerkeittäin in Finnish) by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, Esko Patient Information System was considered the most efficient tool for supporting in-house communication and the easiest, most reliable and fastest system for routine tasks.

The questionnaire was carried out in spring 2020 and it was responded by 3912 nurses of which most worked in a public hospital, health centre, in the social welfare field or the private sector setting. In the school mark evaluations, Esko was rated by far the best system with its mark of 8.2 for the public hospital environment. In that category the marks ranged between 5.6 and 8.2. No other system but Esko scored 8 or higher.
