Well Leslie, I bit the bullet and upgrade to v6 some time ago. It has some different stuff, some irritating things, and is a bit slower. But, honestly, my office didn't really miss a beat. We do things the same way. We use AC the same way. We actually think the eRx works much better and use it much more frequently now.
The meds entry is slow and irritating to me. It demands that I know the patients meds but we've figured out a workaround. Sometimes I don't have their meds. Most times I don't have their dosages. I don't know which type of metoprolol they take and neither do they. But that's ok.
A lot of this MU is crap and worthless. My staff is doing the minimum possible. We really just want a good EMR. The amount of money CMS is supposedly giving me sometimes doesn't seem worth the pain.
