Costs of Installation & Ongoing Costs

We just started this program and I believe it to be relatively inexpensive - Specialist Practice, 13/1/99 23:59

Amazing value: $200 per year, the best use of drug company money I've come across yet besides research. - Group GP, 20/2/00 9:09 PM

Time involved in establishing the package

After installation the actual learning curve is very low. The program is very easy to use. - Specialist Practice, 13/1/99 23:59

Installed it and made two phone calls to get it functioning. Less trouble than some vaccinations. - Group GP, 20/2/00 9:09 PM

Level of Support received from developers

Unfortunately we have had some difficulty in converting our accounts over to the Medware from Medisoft. The company hasn't given their all to help us. - Specialist Practice, 13/1/99 23:59

Only needed phone support initially so far and that was prompt and effective. - Group GP, 20/2/00 9:09 PM

Functionallity & Benefits of the Sytem

Very easy to use. There is also a notes componant to the program but we haven't used that as of yet. - Specialist Practice, 13/1/99 23:59

Works very well. Does everything you would want in clinical software. We have had major problems getting our computers networked but when the network is running, Medical Director seems to run fine. - Group GP, 20/2/00 9:09 PM

Suggestions and Improvements

Can't think of any improvements at all. - Group GP, 20/2/00 9:09 PM

Other comments. To whom would you recommend the Package

I don't know if there are other packages that work this well but I would recommend this to any GP. - Group GP, 20/2/00 9:09 PM
