I agree with both the specific recommendations in your post and the general concepts you describe.

There is a strong shift in the AC user community as adoption grows, and that is to folks that are not interested in technology.

It is pretty obvious that folks became a Doctor because they want to practice medicine, not technology. We are increasingly contacted by Doctors around the US who want to adopt [or continue to use] AC, and just want it done; much like they might remodel an exam room.

My estimation is that *everyone* of them could do it, they just would rather focus on their practice and patient care.

There is a Doc on this board who sat down at one point and figured out how much time he put into setting up AC in his practice over a year - the final tally was just north of 200 hours, and however you price that opportunity cost (we've heard $50 - $140 per hour), his opinion is he would do it differently, and just farm it out. Not about intellect, rather a life/priorities choice.

Folks increasingly want someone else to "put the magic in the box" and keep it there; they just want to see patients.
