I to have been using Rbase since early 80's but left using it right when they first went to Windows, came back when 7.0 came out. Love this program. I get great information from this list, by reading threads or posting a question. Also RBYW is a great help for ideas to use in my programs. Tom Hart

My app is optometric, but we share much of our billing and insurance stuff with medical, using the same codes and all. I'd love to hire Razzak or John or whomever for the final transition, and do have that in mind. Right now I'm freeing up more of my time to work on the system by hiring two young docs to take over the examining and that seems to be working very well. I'm using my spare exam room as a man cave (R:cave?) and I think this will enable me to push ahead with the change. Do you have a target date for the changeover?

I agree that this is an overwhelming move, but one I find exciting. I hate to think that our friend Razzak needs any help in the promotional world, but I took a step to help me move forward that I know will pay big rewards in the end – I engaged Razzak for a two-day in-house training, geared specifically to my applications and database, to help us get started. I can tell you that it was well worth every penny. I certainly didn’t answer all the questions, and I’m equally sure I’ll do more as we move forward, but I highly recommend it to you if you are making this move. > >Also, if anyone out there has experience in the Health Care industry, I’d love >to connect. > > >Best of luck. > > >Yours truly, >WOODLYN ASSOCIATES, LLC > > > >Arthur N.
