They will have to just to compete from a patient perspective and marketing point of view. Being "A modern day 21st century practice" is what is driving new patients to my office. <br/><br/>Also, the youtube, facebook, blackberry generation will not accept the archic, albeit cheap practice management systems from the 1970s. <br/><br/>So stop your whining, pick an EMR, prepare a realistic implmentation plan, and do it.
