LOL, I am on a completely different mindset. I would look forward to the challenge of a new EMR. I am basically fed up with the lack of AC's communication and desire to help their customers. It gets slower and slower and I wonder if every time Windows updates drivers and all work at a less proficient speed. One would think with all the new RAM we are installing and the faster and faster processors, it would speed up.
I consider having to wait over 30 seconds to close two windows after NewCrop unacceptable. I consider waiting 20 seconds for demographics or, worse, summary unacceptable. It is slower and slower to open a chart.
One thing about MedPointe, it is similar to Praxis, yet it is more of a drill down process and doesn't have the AI capabilities to pick out free text. But, it is free for a year. Of course, that is possibly to suck people in. I know that the CEO there would be very happy to do what Gene talked about. Good price points if one came from AC.
Naeem, you can't just demo it on the site. If it is close to something do able, have them log in for an hour and go through the workflow.
One thing that people leave out is the ability to do a note on one page. MedPoint is one of them. From patients waiting to patients departed, one page. Saw another one like that. There is no waiting for pages to open up. Chart, then script writer, then CPT code page, then sign off page. You are completely dependent on the speed of this. All things taking up memory and all things making you closer to a crash. If you do talk to Medpoint, be sure to mention my name and AC. The CEO and I were going to work together.
It is cloud based, but I think cloud based is pretty reliable nowadays. How often are you without power or Internet in a year. For us, maybe four times per year.
Just some ideas.
The CEO there is the lead developer and spent most of his learning in work flow. The work flow is good, the drill down is a little tough. They are flexible too. I remember when I was demoing it, there were two areas I needed to work with to see how I liked it. I told him the next day that it was those two things, and he said you should have told me. We would have opened those up.
Even though it comes with billing as most do, you don't have to use it. We could stay with Medware and just use the EMR portion.
Just some thoughts. You can look into it.
