Jon,

Just a suggestion or a thought. There are three databases we use everyday. Meds, CPTs and ICD-9s. As you know, I have back in '03 made my own database, accurate to the smallest detail, (not every pediatric med, but most) and like AC, a work in progress. Many have downloaded, some have definitely used as we keep in touch and others I am not sure.

But, have you considered that rather than have to pay big money to licence these databases with the AMA and FDA, let the AC family make our own. With 1500 users, you have 1500 coders, etc. We could easily get together a committee and make a more accurrate and "free" database, which, of course would need to be looked over by many and approved by you. I know, for me, since '03 when I had 1300 entries, it has been fun to add more each week. I make it a practice to never leave the room without updating the AmazingMeds database in real time.

Would love to hear from others on this.
