I would like to assume that I am in a significant majority of AC users that would not start depending on the PM component of v7 for most of a year after it comes out. Happy to have it, but I am on v18 of MediSoft, and have more than a decade of trust built up in it. I don't want to go thru a mutiny or have trouble meeting payroll. When it is available, v7 will have to slowly earn my trust.
As a newbie, my impression of AC is that it started out like a garage build dune buggy, lean and fast. Over time it is evolving to be a tank with every bell and whistle government and competition requires, able to handle anything.
My biggest problem with AC is it is slower than I hoped. Why should I see hourglasses when trying to write a prescription. We don't see that with other programs, ever.
I appreciate the complexity of a big league EHR. I don't want my data offsite. I like that it didn't cost $50k to get into this. What little programming I have done, humbles me to think of the hurdles ahead for AC and how far it has come.
If AC stays true to a simple, intuitive approach to charting, I would be happy with a PM whenever.
