I installed 3.58 and except for a few run time errors all seems to be good here in the great white north. Must have been a first version thing. I'm trying to get some detailed info out of AC tech as to how the Sync is supposed to work, but Jon and Carlos are away until Monday and it seems the folks holding down the fort are not quite sure what to tell me, but yes taking your laptop off site and charting and re-syncing later is the whole idea of the thing.
Warning: Sync is a very follow these procedures to the letter type of thing, for the saftey of your data. we should all wait until Jon posts very explicit instructions on how to safely proceed. I was having a back and forth on line tonight with Tech about how to start because it's my understanding that one needs to have a good recent copy of their main database on the laptop to then be adding things while in the field. How else would the data end up back in the correct chart unless it came from the same chart. Only new patients can probably come from nowhere. Mrs. Smith chart #318 must originate and return to chart #318 I would gather. Then it is the Sync functions job to run some sort of search and compare I would guess. But guessing is not an option. And again this is why we need good detailed instructions.
This was something that I had Jon promise me he would work on when Nancy and I first signed on with AC. We don't like leaving our server on and connected to the internet all night long if we're not here on site to watch "who's trying to break in". But Nancy does do a few housecalls and she does like to catch up on work at night from home. So this was very important to us. Thanks Jon! I really think that this puts AC in a very elite position way ahead of almost any other Inexpensive Quality EMR. Even most of the expensive snooty ones are scared to try Sync. Way to Go guys! The only other one that I've seen that has this feature is Altapoint and their EMR is so-so, it's their PM module that's strong. I hope that tech will get back to me after the weekend when Jon and Carlos on are site. We are very anxious to try out this feature. I'm an Uncle...Quick, pass out bubblegum cigars!
Now about that PM Module......
