Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I opened 4 months ago, started with paper charts (from a previous graduate from my residency's advice since she invested in an EMR strait out of residency when she opened up and was just a huge cost from the beginning for her, so her advice "don't let anybody sell you an EMR"). I'm not enjoying the paper world much, and with no staff, so much tedious work making a chart, getting the billing together, pulling charts , and in general, I'm a very organized person, and I just don't feel organized with paper, especially since I got spoiled using NextGen for one year in residency. Currently, I'm looking at Amazing Charts, Praxis, and my billing software is coming out with a new web based EMR as well, so we'll see. The questions I have are, if I choose an EMR, any recommendations on what hardware to purchase? tablet PC's? one laptop? numerous desktops? As most of you understand, I want to be prudent and not splurge, so getting by with something affordable would be great as well. What does everybody do here? When your MA (if you have one) vitals the patients, how does she input it ? Does she/he have their own PC? Basically, I just need to know if I need one tablet , and I'm done, or a desktop for each room? What works and what doesn't based on everybody's experience. By the way, are there ANY family practice docs on this list serve that went solo right after residency? Not sure if I'm a lone wolf here. Thanks! Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
