The problem with eCW v9 is the support is horrible, horrible, horrible. Fixes are slow to appear and often break something else. Interfaces mostly don’t work or have serious issues. I can’t recommend this product and avise others to steer clear.

I am working trying to intgrate with eCW now (the vendor not Dell).

Most of what they have does not work from an integration standpoint and they break more than they fix and are unwilling to adapt easily ot variances in data exchange.

I really cannot see Physicians ultimately being happy with the reult if they need to integrate with other Providers (like the Hospital_.

I own a physician billing service, I would love to see how this works. I have groups on these very expensive EMR systems and they really are not user friendly. I also have groups that could not afford and expensive EMR and this would be perfect. I need to understand how the practice management side works. You can have a inexpensive EMR but if the Financial side does not have the reporting tools and the software for claims to go through with out a hitch, then it becomes a very expensive EMR.

I still don’t get the Wal-Mart angle. The number of docs they can sell to is rather small for a retailer like Wal-Mart. Sure they get a piece of the on-going maintenace which must have nice margins but the revenues won’t move a comma in their revenues. Does anyone know if Wal-Mart can get access to the data in the EMR? Thats gold if they can. Any other reasons why they’d do this?

Great idea except for the proce tag. It should be a box of software for $250 and than the ongoing cost. SaaS is not typically 25k p front not is an asp model, client server for 1 doc would be 25k.
