I would use AC again. I continuously looked at the alternatives for about 5 years (I have been using it for about 11) but never found anything that was as straightforward. There are a lot of programs I looked at originally and along the way that are no longer in business. As I look at the Meaningless Use requirements and the fact that most EHRs are trying to meet their standards, I suspect a few more will fall by the wayside. I do NOT think AC will be one of them. They are well positioned to keep abreast.
The thing that impresses me the most is that I can get a student or resident up and running on AC in a few hours. Take that e clinical works. Most people do not have a significant drop in productivity with AC, another thing to consider. I rarely leave charts undone, but that is a long debate on the board and you should search for it.

The patient's expectation is that you have all the answers, sometimes they just don't like the answer you have for them
