algt0404,

It would be nice to know your name, but I think everyone appreciates that you have chosen to look at AC as a possible EMR solution for your practice. I think we have all kind of jumped on the GloStream aspect rather than talking about AC. Of course, you did ask us about it. It appears that none of us have even heard of it, much less used it. That doesn't mean it isn't a good EMR. Just be careful as some of these EMRs that have all the bells and whistles and promise you the world are really a wolf in sheep's clothing and can actually make your work day even longer. Some of these EMRs are so complex that the company requires you to be trained. This training can cost upwards of $10,000 in and of itself. That is more than a doctor would pay for AC in ten years.

So, I know I can speak for everyone here that Amazing Charts is probably your best option. It's a great EMR and the best value out there. And, it just works. But, to be fair, I did look at quite a few EMRs before settling on AC. But, as you know from medicine, you have to see a lot of normal findings before you know what abnormal is. And, it may be helpful for your boss to try the bloated expensive EMRs that sell you a $40,000 EMR by promising you that you will get that money back from the incentive program. Well, then you break even. If you get it with AC, you are $40,000 richer.

I, again, am glad your looking at AC and will help in any way. I wish I could be more helpful on GloStream, but I just know nothing about it.

But, I have to be blunt again, and say that the best way for your doctor to know about GloStream is to go to:

http://www.glostream.com/about-glostream-emr-software-company-locations-contact-us

and sign up to get a trial. And, again, he needs to use it. When you go out to buy a car, you test drive it yourself. You don't send someone else.

And, lastly, you must realize we are all biased on here. smile
