I agree completely.
While there are lots of neat bells and whistles we all could use, I for one, don't want to pay for them. I bought AC because of its charting ability (really because of its price) and am content with that side of it. Sure, there are little things I'd like to see, pt ID # on the schedule screen, some tweaks to the prescription writer, but overall that side of it is really great.
I import an Excel spreadsheet to track labs, I'm starting to use the Directives sectioned as mentioned in another thread... It seems as if the AC community is able to readily mold this nice little program into something MUCH better than a simple chart.
I WOULD like some improvement in the PM side as it is essentially worthless as it stands. I'd say fix it or dump it. I would like a couple of adjustments to help with generating an accurate HCFA, and line item posting, and that would do it.
With SQL, we might be able to dump data into other formats (like EXCEL)for tracking and evaluating as appropriate for each practice.
I'm for fixing what we have, and let's keep sharing our ideas for using this wonderful (and cheap) little program.
