Bert, you have a great system with smart staff members. I only wish I could find someone as good, and hang onto them.
However...only a logged in physician ("provider" in EMR-speak) can print out electronically signed orders, send eRxs, follow up on and sign off incoming correspondence including lab & xrays, and print out prescriptions.
Since this comprises about 30-50% of the EMR-related tasks, I can only second what Travis has said, that AC, like most other EMRs, wastes physician time. All these tasks were done by by MAs in my "paper chart" days. If any logged-in staff member could do these with AC, I would be most grateful. But the fact is now, it doesn't work that way. The EMR trend is to reformulate office workflow, not improve it.
