I think Leslie is right on. Consider this. Your biggest expense will be the creation of your "intra"net (the stuff in your office) and you can use it for a lot more than AC and you will continue to use it with your new software if you move on to something else.

Embrace the EMR for what ever it can do for you, don't stress too much over the parts it can't do. None that I have seen are perfect, and ALL are an improvement on paper. (But beware, because some are an improvement, but remain unworkable, too slow to allow you to see patients, and stay and in business).
