I'm OK with the increase.
I haven't seen anything else advertised for anywhere close to that price.
The "cloud solutions" are "free" (for a price-- your data is their data) or $400-600 or more per provider/month. Which really is a lot of money off the top when fee income hasn't increased to cover the electronic revolution, and there is no other source of revenue to offset it.
I guess hospital clinics can afford EPIC and Centricity -- they rob people blind with their fee structure (that they get away with, but you can't) and their outrageous ancillary charges.
Without AC there would be no EMR for me.
Actually, fee income has probably dropped over the last couple of years on a per patient basis. And we probably would not have an EMR if not for AC either.
