I have a db for this application with 2396 tables, 7000 indexes. I have to say that this is one of the WORST designed dbs I have ever worked with, but that cannot be fixed without tremendous stress on the managers of these facilities because you can set what is visible in a form data wise. this allows every practice to be able to customize what their users see. What I have in data volume I also have duplicated in image volume. These medical records are more than just XML / XSLT. We store all the digitized records for everything. On top of that there is a lot of code to determine if Pt came in with this diagnosis will these tests be covered by X, Y, Z payors. > Yes, later versions will have feature bloat, true enough. > > Still, didn't the people who wrote it just get it to work and release > it? Be honest. ----------------------------- I doubt it. I speak with their tech team every other week and beyond the shadow of a doubt they did not put out VB3 crap to run a medical offices billing department.
