Jack,
My hospital uses EPIC as their EMR.
I can launch the hospital EMR and read the notes, lab results etc. But, if I want to copy it into my chart I have to high light what I want to select, copy and then paste it into AC. Not over the top cutting edge....but still better than the old days when one of the office staff would call x-ray or the lab and then wait for someone over there to find the chart, pull the requested information and fax it to the office. Realistically, with that system the patient would have wait a long time or come back later in order to incorporate the test results from hospital into your decision making process. I wish we had an interface with the hospital like we do with Quest, I hear it is coming.
I am sure it will ( like a watched pot that has to boil sometime ?) just as I am sure that Version 6 will arrive someday.
