Well, I'm actually dumping a much more expensive EMR/PM system and the amount something costs isn't always an indicator of it's worth... In many, many ways AC looks to be a much better product.
Right now, I'm just trying to find a way to get my charts documented without pulling out the paper again and get home to my family.
So, what exactly is VIPER? The link doesn't really explain what it does--just offers the download (unless I've overlooke something--which is completely possible)!!!
I've actually created my own immunization inventory in Excel that counts down when immunization is given, pushs the immunization information to a "chart documentation" form and also to an "immunization record" that is in a parent/school friendly format. The MA only has to enter the patient name and DOB one time, and enter the site of the immunization and her initials. It also handles combination immunizations with single entry but pushs information to update individual components.
I've also created "WHO to 2" growth charts in Excel that will overlay the patient data on the charts--which can be printed and re-sized for viewing, automatically drop in date of measurements and automatically dropping in the correct percentiles in the data entry area.
So, I have some work arounds that are functional. That said--meters is a huge pediatric issue--and I see you agree. And, I'm not sure I have a work around for that one...
But, I just started playing around with AC a few days ago while I transition out of this other product (NIGHTMARE!!!).
This board is really awesome. And I look forward to hearing how VIPER works. Kathy
