Melanie,

For your type of practice, the wireless speed should not be a problem at all. You really won't notice AC being slow. It is slow for me when I complete a chart, the fax the H&P to the hospital, then fax a referring doc letter. The sending the faxes and finding the networked printer can be slow sometimes. You won't have that problem.

Your practice work-flow is a dilemna for sure. The problem with the docs and MAs using only the desktops (besides the dictation issue), is having the MAs login, fill out the stuff, send it to the doc, log-out, now you come in, log back in under you. Not real efficient if you have to log in and out all the time. That's the advantage of you having your own laptop.

As Bert pointed out, if the chart is sent to both docs, you will have an inbox full of charts of patients that your partner saw.
