I have used AC unilaterally in 2 different family practice groups for 12 years, but never as the "group's EMR." I am part of a hospital collection of 10 providers (7 FP's, 1 ortho, 1 GYN, 1 GI). We have tried to install our hospital's chosen EMR (CPSI), which was a total failure. I would like us to all go with AC. Medscape's EHR survey ranks AC #1 in categories of physician users: 1-2, 3-5, 6-10, and 11-25. AAFP's survey shows about 7% AC users in groups of 6-10. My question is how well does AC do in groups of up to 10 users, in multiple locations? We do have a fast fiberoptic line connecting the offices. Any AC users have any experience working with a hospital employer in this setup? Any interfaces made between AC and hospital billing, lab ordering/results?
