I have been using EMR since 2003. When I was really looking to go paperless I chose IMS because of the different features they include to get a physician closer to that goal. Because I was familiar with EMR I knew exactly what I wanted, and [1st Providers Choice] worked with me to customize the software with templates specific to my specialty. The support staff is pretty attentive to our concerns and they continue to improve on all the different aspects of the software. If you really want to go paperless and be compliant with the different guidelines IMS is the one for you.
