WHA!? No one consults the photographer!!!?...............Apologies, my cynicism
could not let the opportunity go.
In the interest of being productive for the topic: I second the sentiment; Use
of a 3rd party PACS in addition to or rather than the integrated EMR image
review system.

As usual, nobody consults the photographer. Not my choice- management made the
decision, now I just want to see if anyone's run into any issues I might need
to be prepared for. We are in a small multispecialty (7 docs), so will be
utilizing other diagnostics along with photography.
thanks for your input- hope all is well in Philly

Darrin, what made you go with MedFlow?
We used to run NextGen for EMR & EPM, and quickly came to realize that their
built in image system was horrendous. the effects on performance were
exponential compared to the amount of data that was added, and the reviewing
applications were lackluster.
In the end, after 4 years with NextGen, we decided to switch, and decided to
run with a PACS system in addition to our EMR, rather than utilizing the less
than optimal built-in solutions we were seeing in demos.
2.5 TB of images into our PACS, and we are very happy with our decision. We've
got direct integration of the EMR and PACS, clinical and research use have
become very fluid, and can be accomplished on tablets or desktop computers. It
has been a long time in coming towards the final solution, but i think 4 out of
5 days a week (and increasing) we are completely convinced this is where we
want to be for the future.

Ok, finally jumping on the EMR train, and getting MedFlow in our office.
Anyone out there using it- how is it from a photographer's standpoint? Pros vs.
Cons?
sorry if I open a can of worms....
