| As noted above, the first seven years it worked well; the last four have been terrible. For instance, it has taken huge amounts of time for me to manage errors in patients' allergy lists that the EMR just pops into their charts. E-prescribing accurate but very slow and cumbersome. I managed to achieve MU Stage 1 with a lot of help from my REC, crossing my fingers that the unreliable data created by the EMR for my quality reports would be adequate. After 3 months of seeing what it would take to use the EMR to even try for Stage 2, I decided not to try, and started making plans to close my practice. The time requirements, effort, frustration, and anguish I experienced with the "upgraded" EMR led to seeing fewer patients, delayed documentation and claims filing, pulling money out of my retirement savings to keep the practice going, and very long work hours that almost eliminated healthy activities and adequate sleep. I had always hoped and expected to continue doing what I love, seeing patients, for another few years, but I thought it best for my patients that I close the practice in an organized way rather than waiting for a health crisis to end it. This has been very sad for me and for them. |

| Since upgrade to meaningful use our patient flow has slowed down considerably. We have paid for electronic eligibility and patient portal but they do not work. Have had problems getting issues resolved in a timely manner. |
