well, our hospital has been looking at other software vendors. Currently Meditech Magic.... small hospital, with a CEO who hates computers. Our IT dept is one old guy who should have retired years ago. He is so behind the times, we have no firewall on any of our computers, he fights viruses every week. He won't fight to send anyone to any type of computer or meditech training. With each of our modules, we could send one person to training. Im expected to build the NUR module (Meditech recomends a team of 6-8) while supporting LAB, RAD, PCI, MOX, PHARM and OE. Not to mention if anyone in ADM or HR needs anything added to a screen, they ask me to do it, since none of them ever had any training!
The modules that are live are only half-A$$ built. So taking into account the lack of IT support, the lack of CEO support, we have been looking at CPSI. I am hoping I can tweak it enough and work the build enough to get what we want out of it....and not have to worry about building the rest of the hospitals sections.
We go for a site visit to the headquarters next week. Overall, even if the system is a step backward from the functionality of Meditech...not so in our case. The only things we have gotten out of this system are the things I have been able to sqeeze out of it. And that's not much!
:throcomp: Im going to miss the old clunker (Meditech Magic) but Im looking forward to moving on!
