David,
Yes I am an AC user, and looked at options of escribing while still with paper charts, and whether right or wrong thought it would be best to adopt the electronic health record before escribing--I had two partners use quest, but after a period of time quest wanted 500 dollars to continue utilizing their format for escribing, and figured I would get the electronic records going then start escribing and soon realized I had run out of time (thinking I had the entire year to escribe and not just till june 30)and realized the penalty is now a reality and no longer theoretical--So I already have above 40% escribing since starting AC--so should hopefully not suffer another penalty. I love escribing I just wish I could escribe without printing scripts of faxing now--I guess the better way to look at it is that I was able to make the right choice with my electronic records, and taking the penalty is a small price to pay in the long run. Its the "penalty" that grovels me. jimmie
