There are many good points in the entirety of this thread. Was the cost of admission a big factor? Of course it was.
We also knew that the conversion to EMR wasn't going to be smooth sailing - adoption of new workflows seldom is. AC was our cautious foray into EMR. The lack of PM is a sore point, but by and large, it's been a worthwhile endeavor. I can't say enough about this board - w/o it, we might have pulled the cord a while back.
To put the cost into perspective: would we have paid 5K or even 10K for a system that was *clearly* better, and was integrated with PM? Yes, we would have. But the thing is, paying 40K doesn't necessarily guarantee that you're going to get a better experience in the niche software market.
Basically, if this doesn't work out:
1. We haven't tossed 30K+ out the door. 2. Maybe most importantly, the data is in a format that is easily assimilated by other programs.
