That is a problem, isn't it? However, we went with AC to consolidate several different programs that didn't talk to one another very well. At one point, we had the patient demographics entered in 3 separate programs, which tripled the odds of corrupt data. I still prefer the way two of those programs performed their individual functions to the way AC does them, but the whole point is to have things as unified as possible.
