Leslie,

You may not be waiting on a PMR module , but I am.

When I first started using AC (November, 2007), I was told that a PMR was likely due out July, 2009.

I feel that I have been more than patient. I have been part of beta testing on a few occasions and have spent more than a few nights with support rolling back and rolling forward beta updates.

I will be part of beta on PMR and 6.0 to help the process along.

None of us are happy with the "changes" we have had to go through, but we all deal with it.

I spent 2 hours with the IT guy from our local REC(University of Central Florida). They aren't even close. THey came into my office to sell me a EMR and show me how to get my stimulus money. They want me to help get other physicians on board. They got federal dollars, I did not. We are ahead of them in all regards, except for getting federal dollars.

By the way, they started talking to me about a RHEO, fagetaboutit (slang spelling??)

Being a cynical New Yorker, I wouldn't be surprised if CMS did not give us the money in the current state of finances. I'm not waiting for the check to show up. But I will continue to see my patients and run a small business.

So let's work together for all our needs (PMR and MU). I will continue to support AC, but I can also express my needs and frustrations.

I'd love to go to ACUC, but a feel a central location (or alternating parts of the country) would be better.
