Re: Entire conclusion is a non-sequitor by Ignacio H. Valdes, MD, MS on Friday January 12, @08:59AM Could your argument be a red-herring :-)? You present no evidence to the contrary of my claim. I actually do present evidence that I have experienced personally with my example of getting data out of a proprietary, LAN-based EMR which is a real-world example. The necessity of having to call an EMR vendor for any reason is onerous to me. The necessity of calling a browser-based proprietary EMR for technical information is now obligatory since not even binaries are shipped. This will invariably result in: 1) More opportunities for the EMR vendor to charge more money whether legitimate or not with poor response time or no response at all. 2) An opportunity for the EMR vendor to ask 'what do you need that for?', 'why are you asking?' and 3) The dreaded 'we want to make sure this won't void the service contract'. All the above are real world examples that I have personally experienced. Proprietary, browser-based EMR's by their nature will only increase this. -- IV Post Reply Name Email Notify Notify me via email of responses to this message Title Comment (Check those URLs!
