Sandeep provides an excellent list of advantages that AC has over many EMRs. I'd also like to think that AC is easier-to-work with/learn, but I can't say so with any authority; most other EMRs exist behind a $$ iron curtain, so I have no benchmark for EMR user-friendliness with which I can compare AC. The AC free trial was wonderful to have. I got to mess around with the program and learned its strengths/weaknesses, limitations, and areas for improvement.
It never made sense to me that most other EMRs on the market don't provide trial periods. Well, no, I take that back. What never made sense to me is that doctors and managers didn't demand trial periods before purchasing. EMR use affects every aspect of and has the potential to change the workflow of an office. Why select an EMR based off of 5-minute demo videos and a few chats with sales associates?
I looked at an old poll that Bert conducted. After looking through the poll and comparing it AC as it exists today, I think it's fair to say AC values the community's input.
