Zak,
LOL.
Good question. When I first started using AC in 8/2003, we were entrenched with scheduling with Medisoft. I must admit Medisoft's scheduler was pretty good, and I spent many hours tinkering with it to use its full capacity of printing extremely detailed superbills based on appointment data.
When I set up here, my practice manager and biller/coder would rather have Medware than a new Lexus or Mercedes. So, I was stuck with that. But, Medware, as with a lot of billing programs, seems to have made its scheduler as an afterthought. You can't color code as with Medisoft, and more importantly, everything you put in the scheduler (lunch, vaccines, no shows, etc.) are counted as appointments. So, you glance at a day and get excited because there are 24 appointments at the beginning of the day, only to find that 7 are vaccines and 1 is lunch.
So, I am definitely thinking of going with AC's scheduler and, as you can imagine, am already playing with it. If there are any Medware people out there who have done both, I would love to get their insight.
Thanks Zak.
