Where do you practice Duncan. I have often admired your innovative approach, (for a specialist that is :-))

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.
