Dave,
I've been using AC for about a year. I tried to get my hospital to set up an interface for labs but it didn't happen. I switched to Quest and established an interface about two months ago. The interface saves my MA some time, but otherwise is not much of a help. I wouldn't worry about interfaces until you get settled into using the program. It's easy enough to scan material into the Imported section without an interface and it's not an essential MU requirement--at least for now.
With best wishes,
John
