our practice is settling into BP.
all the GP's made the transition without any real dramas. MD2 one week,
BP next week.

You wwrote:
BP also uses MS SQL. Did you encounter any data transfer problems of the
sort I mentioned? I know that PS3 wants evrything 'correct' before it
will accept data, as do many other sensible pieces of software.
Is BP filling in the gaps in terms of the functionailty not yet
available, compared to MD, when it was first released? I know everyone
uses their software difeerently, so maybe the other question should be,
is there anything you miss seriouslY?
I ask because I know lots of GPs are interested in BP, but few of us
have had feedabck from users to pass on.

I have seen what Nigel answered. He is correct, not all the bells &
whistles of MD2 is in BP but neither are they in MD3.
BP has bells & whistles that neither MD2 nor MD3 has - & MD3 can never have
some of them until the DBF / document handling system is removed from MD3.
The main bell & whistle component that I like is live updates. Doctors can
happily be using BP on workstations while the Server gets updated. A few
Doctors & IT persons nearly die when they hear this claiming Data
corruption may / can occur etc. There is no truth in this rumour. The
experts use live updates because it is safe. In a large practice it means
no down time at midnight to update Server, then W/S's. The other Bells &
whistles I like is diagrams, nursing home charts to mention a few.
Remember I was a Betatester for MD2 (from before the official MDW was
released), & Alpha tester for MD3 until I left. I also was a Betatester for
PS1,2 & 3. I still find bugs in PS3 that the current betatesters don't find
and it takes months for HCN to fix these bugs I find in PS3 - I'm still
waiting for a fix for some. A very poor advert for HCN. Thus I know a bit
about testing software.
The important question to ask: If I knew in December 2004 what I know now,
would I still have taken the leap into the unknown with BP - YES !!
I had no difficulty in migrating my Data from MD2 to BP. As far as I can
establish, everything is there (I still have MD on one machine to see if
something is missing that may not have migrated - still zero finds).
Do I miss anything seriously: No ! There are some minor irritations that
Frank fixes once we complain about it. An example is his care plans: They
needs some Minor adjustments, but nothing to cause me heartache.
Was there an early adopters program - No, because Frank was so confident in
what he had built, he knew it would work.
All my friends who changed to BP needed very little if any support in
migrating Data to BP & using the program as the process is so simple & fool
proof.
