Ok everybody. I NEED your help. I have had AC on my computer for over a year. I still have paper charts and have not started using any EMR. I can't seem to take the plunge. I am a solo FP with one receptionist and one MA. I have a billing person that comes in 1 day a week for 6% of collections. We currently use (not recommended) American Medical software for our PM. Paper appointment book. I want to go to EMR to create legible notes and referral letters, improve efficiency and workflow, improve and speed documentation, decrease liability (by tracking labs,referrals, etc. and avoiding drug interactions), improve reimbursement by better tracking of Quality measures (pqri)and other reasons I can't think of right now. I have it narrowed down to E-clinical works, E-mds and AC. I love AC for its simplicity and cost and this community but I am not sure it can meet my needs as mentioned above. I am also paralyzed with fear of bankrupting myself with the other 2. It is important to note that I am not a computer techie like some of you guys whom I envy. I want to do the right thing for my patients and myself and I want to get rid of paper. Please help push me over the precipice. Thanks.
