The sheer contempt of any software company stopping a doctor moving his/her notes and medical records to keep them hostage to the software package is extraordinary. Encryption by MD3, Profile or others is inexcusable if you do not hold the keys or you are unable to readily and easily export to a text based format!
Consider Quick book MYOB low level commercial accounting software. You can pick the best product for year to year with little or no risk of being stuck with a second rate product. The inability to export and import your private copyright material - medical records should be a key reason to 'dump' any software that is forcing this on you. I know the ridiculously (stupidly) high number of medical software providers in Australia will not last if a competent and effective package is developed which has the required level of customer support. I wonder if quicken or MYOB would have a go? If this forum has be talking about this since 1998 I think it may be part of the problem?

Export is less important. I disagree. Export, full useable export, would make trial of software feasible and promote real competition.
