I would like to see them increase that fee but reduce the fee of interfaces : ) It seems to me that the price-per-practice for interfaces is out of line with Amazing Charts' reasonable pricing structure. It seems that most of the work would be required on the side of the PM software. I would imagine that there is a standard intermediate HL7 file structure that acts as a bridge between the two applications. It would seem appropriate to charge extra for fields that do not fit commonly-used items, but for more standard situations, a more modest price seems appropriate. Moreover, there should be a reduced fee for subsequent practices that use this same interface since most of the work had been done in the first iteration.
I notice that you are a prolific poster, Bert. Can I ask you whether you are anxious to get the PM portion that is forthcoming, or are you happy with the interface approach?
Best,
