Yes, and to dilate on my comment, CPSI was one of the main reasons I didn't fight too hard when the hospital proposed to replace the private docs with hospitalists.
I could see the handwriting on the wall -- every "upgrade" made it worse! Taking care of more than 2-3 inpatients was phenomenally time-consuming and I was always late to the office.
Now they propose to replace this beast (after spending $millions on it) with Cerner -- which doesn't look a whole lot better, but now I have no dog in the fight.
In any case, it allowed me better access to hospital records from outside the hospital, which is good. But that could be achieved in a far less cumbersome manner, it that were the purpose of the program.
CPSI doesn't solve any problem that doctors have -- I doubt they ever actually listen to doctors at all. And it creates a whole host of new ones.
