I'm not disputing your example of the framework that could be used to run AC in multiple offices, Bert. Just wondering why tceg's group would want to go with a basic, simple EMR like AC, if they had to upgrade SQL, servers, terminal services, etc.
The attraction for me is that I can handle AC myself much of the time. When I had Medical Manager, my office needed to call every time we went down, or needed an upgrade, or a report done. The tech reps had an average turnaround of 24-48 hrs. I have the same issues now with my POL software that runs the CBC machine & analyzers. Being all paperless, I can't be down for that long. So I feel comfortable with AC on a workgroup network. That's just my level of computer smarts. I can't be calling an IT person for issues. That tceg posted on this board says to me he/she's interested in AC for the same reason. Just trying to be straight with him/her (hey tceg -- its tough when you don't have a real name).
