Folks,
Here are copies of PM's I started with a fellow AC user Named Karl from North of the Boarder. I felt we might have a lot to teach each other and share about healthcare on both sides of the boarder. Everybody Give Karl a nice big AC User Board Welcome....
Hey there,
My name is Paul and I really am a USA Hockey registered Official here in NYS. How are you my northern friend? I am also my wife's practice manager and we are about as fed-up as can be with the business of healthcare here in the states.
We down here frequently hear all sorts of horror stories about how things are done up there on your side of the northern (southern?) boarder. I think that many of us down here would love to hear from a real practicing Canadian doctor as to what the real scoop is. Might you want to get into this? I think it would be very enlightening and helpful.
Question: a fellow user that posts here regularly, ROY, was talking with some Canadian providers a while back, and he reported that you guys are only allowed to pick from like five govt approved EMR's... Is this true? Also if it is, can I ask what you are doing here on this American EMR website? Are you too doing research as to how things are down here? Again I think we could help teach each other a lot and perhaps if you are game, we could take this to the public side of the board and start a good thread on the general discussion section.
Anyway, thanks for you time and hope to hear from you soon...
Paul
