I am looking into a different PM System. DOes anyone here use SydaMed?

Some of the public MH clinics in VA have asked about Anasazi software. Anyone here have input? Pros, cons, etc. TIA, DM

well i just finished my first week of work at my new office, using eclinicalworks, and it seems to work quite well. It is very user friendly being that i had my wife with no medical training being my MA for 2 days and then i had a floor nurse helping me for the next week until my new MA actually...

I am looking to choose between e-clinical works & e-md. The training & installation cost is big factor- they cost half of the software cost!!!!! In your experience how much installlation & training is really needed with these EMR's?? I am pretty tech savy & my husband is in IT. I was hoping to cut...

I am living proof that you don't need to be a "real" computer guru to run SOAPWare off a MySQL database. If anyone's interested, I'll post the (free) instructions here... I am interested in developing "extensions" to SOAPWare using Visual Basic. Anyone else here working on this? It's 80% of a...

None of us are strangers to the thousands of exploits that come out for Microsoft products. It's a bad thing for every industry, but healthcare is the most critical. People's lives are at stake when your system is not reliable. When is this nightmare going to happen: 'Mrs. Jones, while we...

Kurzweil writes that in my children's lifetime we will be very far down the path of merging with our technology via biomechanical and biocomputer interfaces and that this will confer a marked evolutionary advantage to those that agree to be computer and bioprosthetically enhanced. He doesn't see a...

My practice is going to Demo nextgen later this week. We are a large group, most IM specialities (~50 docs). Almost went with Centricity but backed out. Now they want to look at this one. Mind you, I have my own EMR based on MySQL and Access, so I am none too excited. We now have...

Just got this in my email today ... Regenstrief Institute and the LOINC committee are pleased to announce the release of LOINC version 2.17 and RELMA version 3.17. The files can be downloaded from our web site (http://www.regenstrief.org/loinc/download). If you prefer to receive the CD...

Hi all, I'm new to DocsBoard here, but not new to EMR's. I've been programming computers since 1980 (long before med school). When the concept of melding the daily medical practice with computers through an EMR took hold, I was hooked immediately. Then I discovered the prices that companies...

Anyhow, he may not be around anymore. Al might know. What is the life cycle of a server. I am having to do some upgrade work: just over 2 year old, Dell 400SC power edge server, windowsXP->SP1->sp2 with pentium 4, 2.4ghz, 1gig ram. Started slowing down, mostly graphics related, I think its...

According to an Evans Data Corporation survey, the number of Linux developers and Windows developers will be equal by the end of the year 2006. This development was noted by LinuxToday editor's: '...With its dominant adoption rate, Apache may be doing more for the cause of open source development...

I'm wondering how you would dictate medical reports, specifically disability psych evals. Is there a well known nationwide transcription service who also does this? Alternatively, does anyone use a Macintosh dictating system? As far as I've looked there are two - IBM and MacSpeech. Does it...

Hello, Does anyone have experienced with Mac EMR. I have review SpringCharts, PowerMed, and MacPractice. However, none is as comparable to e-MDs or Praxis. Thank you for your input.

I came across one thread before that I can no longer find, but it appeared to suggest that you needed a static IP address to run a VPN from home to the office ( to access your EMR etc ). With Hamachi ( http://www.hamachi.cc/ ), that is no longer true. The IP lookup is done using the Hamachi...

5.20.06 Does anyone have a list of available programs (program name or url) that are an EMR built on MS Access? Steve Atwood

Hi, I have been asked to help evaluate the GE Centricity EMR for a medium size primary care practice. They already use the Centricity PM software and are interested in the EMR. I am looking for opinions on how it functions in the real world from any users of this software. Appreciate any input....

Has anyone been able to do sql queries on Lytec 2005. When I go to the pervasive control center, userid and password are required, but I can't find them. I assume they were deliberately locked by Lytec. An older Lytec knowledge base article shows how to find the database passwords, but in...

If CCHIT certification becomes a reality will you colunt out those EMRs that choose not to be involved in the CCHIT certification process? It has been propsed that CCHIT may charge as much as $25-30,000 for the evaluation and a % of the annual sales. This has been proposed to be good for 3...

I would like to use EMR with the same data base at 2 locations. What is the best way to link. I spoke with medinotes, and they are purposely vague about it. Is it best to use PC anywhere to access your main database at one location, or is there a synchrnonization program that will let you make...

Anyone in Atlanta, Georgia area with skill at programming in either microsoft Access or Visual Basic ? I have outline of templates-insert boxes etc-thoughts for what a Primary Care Provider may need. I have read MS Access / Visual Basic for idiots and not that smart of an idiot and so LOST. ...

Started at the beginning of the thread and read forward, interesting and enjoyable. I was in practice as a General Internist in a rural area and, like many, became increasingly frustrated with a payment scheme that rewarded for volume. In pursuit of better options, I ended up working for a small...

The main problem with most EMRs for the small practice is cost. As well, for all that money, you get a difficult to use EMR that is not intuitive. Slows things down actually, staff hates the change. Next, the systems always, inevitably crash, sometimes with data corruption. It usually takes the...

I started using Praxis 3 release candidate 1 last week. I have noticed a few minor bugs that they are going to fix with the next patch. I really like the new field type they added. The speed seems faster for me, although I did get a new computer also. I would be glad to share some of the...

Anyone know if the addresses belonging to individual articles from journals are permanent, or do they have a limited shelf life and are inactivated after a given time.
