The consultant does not seem very knowledgeable but is provided free through the HealthENY connection that is the REC for my area.
How did today go???

One striking thing to me with initial use of V6 is how little it differs from V5. Yes, all of the MU stuff is there, but in terms of the interface, note-taking, scheduling, etc, it is much the same. There is no need to worry about a learning curve if you are not ready to delve into the MU portion. This seems to be especially true for your staff.
We have noticed only a couple minor issues (a problem with our back-ups, and a little bug in the templates). All else seems to work as before. I see no difference in the speed of eRx.
My preliminary view of the MU features of AC is that they seem to be pretty smart and functional (though there are a couple of links that don't work). At the very least, the program has allowed me to get a handle on what we will need to do to meet the MU incentive requirements. I understand that much better thanks to AC. While some of the requirements are annoying, some are pointless, and some will be a bit of a pain, none appear at this point to be too onerous. I suppose if I had a free consultant, I might take advantage of him or her...but you may spend more time educating them than vice versa. After all, how experienced or knowledgeable can that person be at this point?
