In our office, we keep the PM software totally separate from AC. It means duplicating demographic entry, but reduces risk of corruption overall. What you are suggesting sounds pretty complex, and AC is not really designed for complex practices. There are speed issues with even one or two providers operating off a server, and sharing that many separate practices on one server may prove problematic. If you have the hardware already, I sure would take advantage of the free trial, and print out the encounters during this period in case it does not work out.
