Agreed. I think looking for one EMR is not doable. The cat is out of the bag. In fact, I tried the VA EMR years ago, and it was terrible. The CPT coding process is a joke and just provides for having to hire billers and coders or worry about typing in frivilous lines to make it meet the process. In the more expensive systems, you have it bill for you. If it doesn't meet CPT, ask it why. Needs one more ROS. OK. Done. Or pick a code and see if it is accepted. But, that means it has to be a drill down process that allows the EMR to parse the data.
AC had/has what few EMRs had/have. Many, many physicians from all specialties using their product and spending countless hours writing what could be done better. And, these were improved with each comment. Yes, it is sending in an idea through the "system" (which I get), but so much info on the board. And, the most info was the displeasure with the support, which never seemed to be heeded.
Remember the Big81. What came out of that? Tens of people telling me how stupid I was because I am not a statistician. And, a group of ideas born out of many, many hours that weren't taken seriously, because the highest request (being able to close folders in imports) had only five votes. FYI: It did pass later. Another criteria for a suggestion was it could not in any way be supported by me.
Maybe I am the only one who thinks this, but open up a chart from the patient list to have it default to today's date is the single most questionable thing I have. But, developers don't agree, so OK.
