Thanks John,

I thought it was a good survey, better than I could make up. If they are going to go shopping for an established PM or expand their team of coders, it helps to know the relative importance of different goals.

This forum is excellent for specific feedback, and I am sure they will get some.

My advice is that in the short term they need to get to something that looks like a final product that can be fine tuned and improved with time, because they are behind the major EHRs. In the long term, they need to have an excellent skeleton or database design that will allow for the improvements and requirements that will come when the industry gets consolidated and there is a consensus on what an EHR should be able to do.
