My change from MD2 to MD3 equaled that in every respect (including the mobile for tech support) except that it only took 4 hours in total and no extra time was needed for each workstation setup/printers/links etd.

It was an absolute fizzer !!!!! - expected the worst - could not have gone smoother. From docs, reception and nurses - NO WORRIES - they just USED it like they had been for years. The data conversion was flawless - and so easy. Took 6 hours overnight. 23,000 patient files converted - with great accuracy. We trialed BP for a week or so prior to change over , running in conjunction with MD - changed over database on a Saturday morning - Now this impressed me - On the Friday received a call from BP support - was given a mobile number to call for any assistance over the weekend - used it twice for some simple settings - the support was unbelievable - accurate, timely and very reassuring. Saturday morning went smoothly - yes, each workstation does need to be configured and it does take a good few hours to set each PC, printers and links up. All docs on board Monday morning, --- new software - full day - once again expected a nightmare with potential for disaster - NO hassles at all - few minor niggles like finding the right buttons to do what you expected with MD . - but once again docs took to it like they had been using it for years - Have not looked back - no ads AT ALL, - speed ++, Overall I like the way it works - maybe its more intuitive, but seem to be able to find things, and feel more confident of being able to build up a highly functional electronic record. We have few niggles which I am confident WILL be ironed out, but they really are minor. The BP forum is great. Well that's my personal experience.
