George,
Thanks for the transparency. I think many of us can see through you much better now. I hope you find (and can pay for) that elusive EMR you imagine. Perhaps, with your tremendous knowledge, the best thing would be for you to develop your own program. And I am curious. Given your previous posts about the need for an EHR to gather and store data in a method which is easily transportable, then why would you feel that, once you commit to an EHR, you are committed "for life". As far as I know, none of the more popular EHRs, and certainly one would hope none of those expensive CCHIT-certified ones, could hold your data hostage. We lucky AC users just happen to have that issue specifically addressed by Jon in his EULA. Personally, my first EHR was SoapWare and I am now using AC...no lifelong committment to either.
But now if CCHIT is your dominating decision-maker, then I guess it is safe to say that AC will not rank high on your scorecard and we will not be seeing you here on our boards for much longer.
