Ian,
I switched from MD2 to Profile. We recently migrated our practice
management from BlueChip to Profile also.
Having it all integrated like this is great and works really well.
I chose Profile for a number of reasons
1) No ads
2) 3 tier architecture
3) Interbase backend (free) - but not limited to interbase - will run on
MS SQL etc if needed
4) If you know some scripting you can customise to your hearts delight
5) Ease of creation of custom forms that save info into EMR
6) Competitive entry cost
7) Willingness to integrate with secure email providers and other things
we require (SMS confirmation for patients etc)
We currently have 30 specialists and support staff running in 8 separate
locations via direct connection and managed VPN and all is working well
with good speed.

We are presently investigating possible migration options from MD2.
On our short list:
* MD3/pracsoft has the advantage of familiarity - which users seem to
want to gravitate towards
* Genie when we last asked a couple of months ago couldn't import
medication lists from MD; users are a bit scared of the quirky interface
* Best Practice has long term risks associated with longevity in the market
* others have failed to impress
It's looking more like the devil you know versus the devil you don't and
the dollars weigh heavily in some minds and advertising seems not a
concern to others.
What I would like is:
* stories from switchers - good or bad
* cost justification of alternatives to MD - preferably quantifiable
productivity gains
Any help greatly appreciated.....
Ian.
