Yes it seems that way sometimes. On the other hand Meditech is incredibly successful. You just wonder if there are ways they could be more successful. Andrew. Yes it seems that way sometimes.

Wish Microsoft would buy them out and turn it into a end user centric product. As usual, there is the easy way and the Meditech way.

The good news is that you have the hardware/networking infrastructure in place for Focus. The bad news is that your database is almost completely based on MAGIC technology so that means that you would need to rewrite all your NPR reports, all your screen attributes, all your interfaces and any custom applications. So far I've seen MAGIC conversions and new sites but I don't recall inquiring about C/S to Focus conversions. I'll see what I can find on the subject. Alan Goldstein, of Meditech, referred to the C/S to Focus conversion as a big ring release in Vancouver but I suspect its much harder than that. I will keep your thoughts in mind for future posts to clarify C/S vs MAGIC conversion issues. Vert, you raise a good point.

As you have noted, a FOCUS migration is very different for these 2 platforms and most of the on-line info (including MT's website) does not properly distinguish which platform is under discussion. I'm sure I'm not the only C/S customer who is confused -thx vert Joel – this blog is a great idea but could I ask that separate discussions be catalogued for Magic and C/S.
