After I stalled, I downloaded V5 at home and despite the fact that I couldn't really play with the eRx portion, I really liked alot of the changes that were made. As a Family Doctor, I will be able to use some of the health maintenance features and see how they work into my office flow. I think I will ignore orders for now. I am installing on the office computers tomorrow night.
Gerardo, as a surgeon, you might like the new Rx writer better. It seems like a better system. It also has a much better way of recording Rxs that are written. It keeps an entire history so you will know not only when you wrote the last Rx for Lortab or Phenergan, but also for how many. You can also add medication allergies directly from the summary page instead of needing to be in a note. Lastly, you can addend a chart the same way you would in a paper chart, so if you are anything like me and you close the chart and then remember 4 things you forgot to say, you can just reopen it and add on the note with an appropriate time stamp on it indicating it is an addendum. These 3 features were enough to convince me.
I will let you know how it goes.
