I want to write more but these days I am doing preparation of different online certifications. After my exams I would like to join your group. Thank you for taking the time to put this information together and put it out on the internet for everyone to have access to. I really like how you talk to those of us who aspire to become leaders, and don't just focus on people who are already leaders. Don Thanks for sharing information. its really nice and meaningful.

You are absolutely right...and perhaps I should discuss this on the next podcast. McKesson is notorious for Nickel and Diming their customers, especially their Horizon and Healthquest customers. Meditech uses horribly old technology, and their hardware requirements will kill you. Would you be interested in being a guest on the show and we can discuss these topics? Thank you for your comment.

With small IS staff and minimal budget an integrated system is about the only viable solution in this market niche. So far I have been disappointed but not suprised about the very few number of truly integrated systems. A true SQL based ".Net" system with the broad modules/functionality needed is rare. I am currently looking at Mckesson Paragon and AHN's (American HealthNet) Clarus products. As a current Mckesson customer I am tired of being nickle and dimed to death by Mckesson but am trying to look by that to the best product. My view of this process is that we could take the comfortable route and 'settle' on a tried and true system (Meditech, CPSI the list goes on...) or make the jump to a modern system with the uncertainties and current lack of modules that comes with that decisison. I am interested in hearing what others are finding in similar searches for a replacement HIS.
