But those of us who do not want it will not have that choice. It will be integrated with our current EMR. We may choose not to use it (just like MU or HM or orders)but the intricacies, data load and tech devotion to it will surely encumber the EMR side. If I were AC, and decided I needed a PM feature, I would have developed it separately from the EMR, billed it as a separate program and then charged for a bridge between the 2 products. AC was already a complete product....amazing CHARTS...an EMR.

Hospital Employed Physician Who Misses The Old AC

"It's a good thing for a doctor to have prematurely grey hair and itching piles. It makes him appear to know more than he does and gives him an expression of concern which the patient interprets as being on his behalf. "
