I did this as well, but it requires someone to look at the schedule and figure out what needs to be done. We didnt continue this way as it is a violation of the license unless you pay more money for the extra healthcare provider, and it would give a non-doctor user(s) access rights at the security levels higher than good practice would support.
I find it a bit amazing (pun intended) that a EMR of any type would not have the ability to create automatic reminders, recalls, tracking of pending tests, tracking of referrals, etc.
AC may reduce the need for paper charts, but it does not automate much of anything that most would expect of an basic 'EMR'. It seems that much of what is/was promised for 2006 has little to do with these features.
