It would be very important to have benefits to implement
EMR-Billing system especially in a small clinic because
they are the ones short on support staff most of the times.
Even if OpenVista can save license fees and installation
can be done by volunteers, would doctors be willing to
'sacrifice' their $250/hr time to learn this system?

Peter,
I am very interested in understanding TCO, including costs of lost
productivity during the learning curve.
In addition, I want to understand the benefit side from both a financial and
quality of care perspective.
I would be happy to collaborate with you on this.
P.S. I think that the Information Week $2700 figure is a first year license
fee for Cache.

I showed up late to the party, so forgive me if this has already been worked
out, but I'm a bit confused as to how much an implementation might cost.
- The InformationWeek article put forward a first year estimate of $2700 for
5 doctor practice. It is not clear if that cost is per doctor.
- The New York Times article 'U.S. Will Offer Doctors Free Electronic
Records System' (7/21) stated "Installing Vista would cost $10,000 to
$12,000 for an entire medical practice." It looks like they were referring
to a practice of 5 doctors.
Have anyone put together detailed total cost of ownership projections? If
there is an open need, then I will volunteer assistance (that means working
with others!) gathering and preparing TCO estimates and associated
permutations (ex. - what are the hardware costs to a doctor with appropriate
hardware vs. what would it cost for a group of 2...8 doctors. Then networks,
configuration, training, support...)

PS: Its been going through my mind non-stop, so here you go, "How much is
that doggie in the window..."
