Yes the day they lost their field support techie, Matt Davies was the day it all went downhill, steeply. I agree with Richards comments about it being industrial strength and functionally great, if only they completed the Australian-isation of it. I noticed a few months ago at one of my sites that in the upgrade to the new version the db server was using substantially less ram than before, and it was never greedy. Quite unusual for an upgrade really. One of my larger GP sites dumped it because it wasn't Australian enough and they had huge difficulties getting their data out. Very much a missed opportunity by the NZ parent company as they came into the market as Mims Clinical went into some idiots safe forever.
Totalcare exhibits the same industrial strength if thats what you are looking for. Very Australian-ised too. Not sure how good the clinical is for GP's, mainly used by specialists. Scales beyond belief. You could use BP as the clinical module to Totalcare I guess at Totalcare works well with MDW2. Oh Profile was such a missed opportunity, the scanning interface is the best I have ever seen, period. If only their salesman didn't have such a penchant for long -shaft -ing their clients :) Andrew.C -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Walton Sent: Thursday, 17 May 2007 6:32 PM To: 'General Practice Computing Group Talk' Subject: RE: [GPCG_TALK] Profile Thanks for the replies. -----Original Message----- >Personally I think that some heavy handed govt official should insist that the whole of Australia uses it (you could run an >>>entire city of GP's on it) and then the weak bits would be updated, and as I mentioned I think it is conceptually and functionally light years ahead of anything on the Australian market. Would be my personal choice. Regards Richard I couldn't agree more with your opinion. We have found the support to be very helpful. The complexity of the possible programme options has meant training has been difficult. As Craig Barnett mentioned: "I think the key issue or "word of warning" for using profile is understanding it is not "out of the box" It is a very open platform for YOU to determine how it will be used in your business." Perhaps there is a place for a user forum or at least an Aussie template library ?
