I spoke with someone yesterday about AC and the future. They do have plans and he was excited about these plans. I have been told, in the past, that this year should be the last of the "legislative updates" that have taken a significant toll on programming. AC said at the last shape the future meeting that they will be able to focus more on user recommended fixes and features. So I guess what I was told adds up to your conversation of 2026. We will see.
I have looked at another EMR that would save me about $200-300 per month, has a patient portal, has AI scribe and is user customizable, to some extent. I have not moved simply due to the fear of the amount of work a move will take with information transfers and learning curve for all involved at the office. Oh by the way the other EMR also includes full practice management with billing.
As I type this, I have a new main computer just sitting in the office waiting on AC to transfer my data, put in a request a week ago and no word from AC...........
