Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Version 5.16 Anybody make the jump

I started my AC Saturday and saw a new update.

Has any one made the upgrade?

I am a little gun shy after upgrading to 5.15, then having to roll back.

We eventually got it after angel support helped.

I don't know what the upgrades are with 5.16. So barring something necessary, I think I will wait for 6.0 towards the end of the month.

End of the month??? I find that hard to believe! That would be great though!

Jon is still hoping for around the end of the month - that will be the meaningful use certified version - not Practice Management.

So how far behind is practice management?

I still haven't gone to 5.1 yet, let alone 5.16. Just too many computes to update that I already screw up as it is.

There is ONE thing, though, that may convince me to upgrade to 5.1.5:

YOU CAN NOW PUT 35 CHARACTERS IN THE MIDDLE NAME FIELD! Sorry, Jon. And, the funny thing is, someone must have had a problem with it. What is wrong with an initial. At least for that person who had more than 34 characters in their middle name.

I made the upgrade to 5.1.6 today.
I have not use it yet. No problem with the upgrading process noticed.

I was disappointed by the small middle name field myself. Only 35 characters? What will this guy do?

probably something self-destructive. Or, he could change that to his first name.

The refill of Rx is wonderful. No problems of substantial merit
have been noted. The time saved with the Rx refill and other upgrades are worth it.

I might be missing something.

What is the rx refill?

I am confused at what half of these things do, but Bert will just say I am confused in general, oh well.

Question for those using 5.15, anyone try using the icd9 code from the chart rather then searching? I don't get it? I don't get what that space is supposed to pull up as you type.

Now how many of I did i confuse?

Where is the upgrade for 5.16 located? Is it available for everyone to download?

Hi Chandra, It's on amazingcharts.com > support > I Want to Help Myself > Current Beta Version. It's available to all subscribers to AC support.

It's up to 5.1.7 now: http://amazingcharts.com/support/i-want-to-help-myself/current-beta-version/

For Medicare reporting (2010), one site jumped to 5.1.5 in Dec 2010. We subsequently isolated a bug that has to do with the Rx printer, which when I get a chance, I will write up what we learned about fixing it; it involves registry edits, so not for the weak of heart, or people flying without backups.

Most practices I have talked with is waiting for other Penguins to jump into version 6, then will pile in behind them if there aren't horror stories. [allusion for those who have seen Penguin behaviors on NatGeo or similar]
