Yep, and is EXACTLY what's wrong with the ASP model. It's YOUR data, not THEIR data, and YOU as their physician are obligated by law to maintain it. Like the dope dealer, the first taste is ALWAYS free...

We used to use Logician Internet.. and one day this big bad company called General Electric bought them and turned them off.

The difference between an "Electronic Health Record" and an "Electronic Medical Record" - at least as far as I've been able to tell based on all the hype - is that an EHR the record belongs to someone else (it's SUPPOSED to be the patient - but what happens when/if THEY don't pay the bill?) and an EMR record belongs to the doctor's practice.

People, I WILL NEVER use a medical recordkeeping system where the data isn't on a server that I can not directly put my hands on, or on paper.

Still.. do they have any good ideas we can steal? .. I mean be inspired by and implement in AC?
