Thanks for posting that information, Chris. As far as I am concerned, any prohibition on posting information on competitors is long gone. Certainly when Harris closed their board down and this independent entity began, that became the situation.
I never thought I would switch EMR's. in fact, I probably will not. Simply because the transition is such a huge PITA. Plus my horizon is fairly short.
The financial considerations are significant though and the information you provide is helpful. It would appear to me that the cost of Praxis is front loaded, so the first 5 years are more than AC, but after that it is much cheaper.
For our two person practice (office, not cloud based), for example, AC is $3200 a year (plus interface fees. Will leave that out for now). Assuming no price change (will assume that for both-may not be true for either) the first 5 year cost is $16k and second 5 years is another $16k.
Praxis would be 10k for the program over 5 years plus $140/month for support (after year 1), So $16.7 for 5 years but only $8400 for the next 5.
So if my math is correct, the cost is about the same for the first 5, and Praxis is almost half as much after that.
What we know though is that our time is the real cost. How much time (and stress) to exit AC? How much time to set up and learn a new program?
The impossible calculation is how long will it take to do notes? If Praxis is just 3 minutes a note quicker than AC, that is a lot of hours per month.
And that doesn't even touch potentially having a better, more useful record.
The speed and quality of notes is hard to determine, and it is about to become nearly impossible to assess. That is a topic I am posting here.
