GoBruins--

Medware started just like AC -- very simple and intuitive, essentially an electronic version of a paper chart.
We have been using it since 1996, and although it has migrated from DOS to Windows, it retains its simplicity. For us, that is good. We are simple minded.

It was originally very inexpensive -- I don't know what it costs now, but support is always good, and it doesn't cost much either. It sold to Sage, and then to something else, so I suppose that sales is pretty confused. The support numbers work fine.

We made all the transitions to the various requirements of Medicare and others for correct billing formats as they occurred, and paired with OfficeAlly, we don't seem to have any problems in billing.

The reports are a little funky, and I don't know of any way to do much in the way of custom reports, or to output the report to anything other than either printer or print screen -- no way to get it into Excel, for example.

But it has served us well, and it works fine with multiple users - so far as I know, for the same price as one user.

I'm still wondering if anyone has tried the MedWare-AC bridge that is advertised on the AC site?
