No, the sky isn't falling. The DC/Pri-Med acquisition may wind up being a good thing for AC. Time will tell. But I hope that the powers that be will recognize that some, perhaps many, of us will react very negatively to attempts to use AC as a marketing platform or ANY use of patient data, de-identified or not. And, yes, this probably means we will need to pay more for AC. You don't get something for nothing.
AC is terrific EMR software with great customer/tech support. Let's all hope that the acquisition will keep it that way and enable AC to continue to mature and develop.
