Prelude

Prelude is a life science software company that provides software for clinical research and health care product development. In practice that means scheduling, records, billing and compliance for clinics and providers.

It makes the most sense for practices and healthcare organizations. Alongside the main category they mention Health Care. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Prelude is based in Austin, Texas and around since 2003. More on preludeedc.com.

Things worth asking about: HIPAA posture, EHR integration, and billing support. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Prelude, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
