Has anyone heard of it? My office manager wants me to consider switching to it. Please give me a few reasons why I shouldn't. I have researched it myself and looks promising. However, I have been with AC for so long (10 years?) I dread changing. Someone give me ammo one way or the other please.

I like AC, but it just does not do what I need it to do. I find myself having a patchwork of programs to do the things I need AC to do. I need an integrated approach. The recent upgrades have been helpful, but not enough. I considered AC's PM, but it does not a good enough way of tracking patients for my purposes.

Gerardo,

I'm inferring that you are looking at the combined EMR and the PM?

We have several practices that use the A-MD Scheduling/PM because it is better suited to multi-location and procedural operations.

I also understand that there will be a means to connect A-MD with AC, which is the preferred configuration for some.

From recent conversations, it appears that the most powerful aspect of A-MD PM is their technology/business rules platform that scrubs billing-coding before submission.

As a system designer, I have yet to see a web-based EMR that wasn't a click-fest. YMMV

Thanks Indy. I appreciate and value your input. I am considering getting both the EMR and PM / billing / scheduling "modules" They tell me the ERM is "fully customizable" As a joke I said: "really? then make the ERM look like AC" I would show you the screenshot, but it let me just tell you they did a good job at that. Except they put a past surgical history which is something I have been begging AC to put in for a long time.... Also, they use updox but apparently they "brand" it to their company and is fully integrated? I have not seen it in action so I don't know. It is certainly a lot more expensive. I would instantly double my cost, at least. But sometimes you have to pay to get what you need.
