I have no recommendations at this time since I haven't found a single EMR that satisfies my requirements. Add to that the new DEA fingerprint or random number key fob generated security for schedule II script faxes, and there are virtually no EMRs that are configured for this new change in the interpretation of the law by the DEA.
I hope to learn from others in Maui about their systems. There is a government incentive program that does promise $44K but the details are murky by the government and they may not require CCHIT certification. But the money has not been specifically allocated yet either...it is more of a promise for the future based on passage of a law. Some companies are indeed outrageous with their prices and other newcomers are offering to sell your the system for free if you promise to fork over whatever the government gives you. The problem with this approach is that these are new companies, and may not be around in 5 years after the next two iterations of the Windows operating systems, and therefore the programs may cease to function if they are not upgraded to match your OS.
