Apricot, has anyone bought into this "deal"? Not only will the cost continue to be exorbitant even after the "help", but the loss of workflow, and the future use of these CCHIT certified systems against practitioners will cost the purchasers bigtime.

You should see who did choose the EMRs and complain to the powers at be why AC hasn't been considered in the mix for the many who don't want a CCHIT certified EMR. You should point to the many threads at emrupdate that display angry endusers unable to use their NextGen EMR.
