Hi Gene,
Regarding PDMP with MD, we use a company called Appriss as our middleman to interface with all the states PDMP's. Every state with the exception of a handful share data with Appriss. MD may open up the relationship, they may not. Those few states require a custom interface just with them which is not viable for us to support. However we recently found a 3rd party who can to create a bridge with those outliers which may open this up for you ..we need to develop the interface with this new partner but we can't do that until sometime in 2020 but at least it's something to look forward to if MD won't share data with Appriss.
Regarding EPCS via NewCrop screens, we realize it's a pain and as such in 2020 we'll be adding the ability to prescribe all controlled substances from within AC without you needing to go to NewCrop. I don't have a specific date yet but we must do this as more and more states are mandating electronic e-rx of controlled substances so it's getting more difficult for everyone and will only get worse over time.
Regarding my thankless job, it certainly has its moments:-).......However kind comments such as yours are much appreciated. If you could only see the list of requested enhancements I receive you'd get a better appreciation of how difficult it is to keep 5000 independent physicians happy. We're a small company with limited Development resources and when the government stops dictating our lives, and yours, someday we'll finally have time to work on things that really matter.
