I ran into a colleague who also uses AC at the hospital this AM. I asked if they had seen the e-mail. They replied "Yes and I guess that means it is time to start looking for new EMRs." I can't say I completely disagree.
I share Dr Lee's concern about the notification from Harris. Perhaps it is semantics, but sometimes semantics matter. It is pretty clear that AC has not been making the internal investments needed to keep up with the evolving demands of an EMR in a current day practice. The promises of PriMed never came to pass and end users never saw the improved product they wanted. Evidently PriMed didn't see the return it wanted either. Maybe Harris has great things planned for the AC community and it is all going to be sun and roses moving forward, but I didn't get that feeling from the initial e-mail and I must wonder how long AC will even be a viable practice choice.
