Thanks Travis. Ironically, the FP doctor I lease from uses eMDs. I agree, the bells and whistles are nice, but so are the ones on a Ferrari.
If only the chief of peds had filled me in on what he was looking for perhaps I could have tweaked my system a bit. I remember when I was with the pediatric practice owned by our local hospital. They rolled out Logician, and the grumbling could be heard form here to Portland. Imagine rolling out something with its learning curve to doctors who weren't computer literate nor wanted to be.
And, I luckily paid $250 and no training. And, I can email or call the head of the company.
When I was in residency, we had a CPOE and EMR type computer system called PCIS. I think it stood for Physician Controlled Information Systems. Actually, I don't think that was it. BUT...we called it Patient Care Is Secondary, because you sat there for hours looking at it. It was pretty good though. A lot better than PowerChart.
