I have worked as a clinical analyst using Magic for 7 years and I am
currently at a facility with Client Server and I have been here for
almost a year and I have to say that Client Server is just as stable as
Magic. It is also much more robust as far as PCS as opposed to the
Magic PCI. We only have myself and two others who support Meditech and
we are up and running with about 80% of the modules available and
haven't had a need for extra Meditech help. I think it boils down to
personal opinion and whether you have used hands on both versions.
Personally I believe that Client Server is more stable, takes less
people to support and the hardware is not a big difference plus the fact
that the EMR, BMV, PCS modules are much more user friendly and more
robust. Again, that is my opinion having worked with both systems.

Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Migrating from Meditech Magic to
MeditechClientServer
We're not (yet) making the transition, but I have to ask.... Why? Magic
is more stable, has many features not available in C/S, takes up less
real estate, takes fewer people to support, costs much less when
hardware is taken into account, and does not require weekly reboots.
Yes, I know there are some advantages in C/S also, but on balance Magic
seems to come out on top. When we first adopted Meditech (1996), C/S
was in Beta so we did not go in that direction. We have come to love
Magic, however, and do not want to change. If we ever do make the
transition, I'll have to think long and hard about how much I like my
job.

Wow Randolph is looking at that too. The first obstacle is getting the
demos from Meditech. We will be lucky if they are completed in a 3 - 6
month window.
Then my question is did you hire consultants to set up the system or
take care of the magic system.
Did you hire a new set of analyst to
install the new system or maintain the magic system.
How long did it take. Does anyone have a
project plan, integrated test plan.
Would love to hear what you have to share and most definitely thanks in
advance.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Migrating from Meditech Magic to Meditech Client
Server
Meditech L List,
Our facility is evaluating moving from Meditech Magic to Client Server.
Are there any facilities that have already made this migration that
would be willing to discuss this with us. We are particularly
interested in the impact this move had on the financial modules such as
dictionary rebuilding and staff training.
Thanks,
