I read through all of these posts from the beginning. They are great! And very entertaining... (BTW, starting a sentence with "And" probably is not grammatically correct). More to the point, AC is a very affordable program, and a great value. We have to expect some modest increases in price. It's the way of the world. We use Perfect Care in our practice as our PM software, with AC as our EMR. Perfect care wanted $35K to put in their "Chartmaker" program (which was a nightmare for an ophthalmologist to use). However, one thing that Chartmaker did allow you to do (for an extra $6K) was modify the program to organize data in a customized format. That would be great if AC could do that. Admittedly, AC was not written for ophthalmology, and there are a number of modifications that I would like to allow me to enter my data into the EMR (sorry folks, but I don't check pulse, BP, height weight, etc), but I have made it work for me and am very happy with it. I expect it to only get better!
