Is there anything people are aware of, or understand better than me... If
Emis, or indeed another system not approved of by the LSP, is retained by a
practice, will there be problem with being forced to move by the PCT. One
suspects they will be under pressure to link all practices to the ICRS etc,
and will exert that pressure down to us.
Could they end up witholding payments because we were not on an approved
system?
It is one thing deciding whether to pay for the IT costs, another if we lose
income...
Similarly if we acheive 1050 points etc this year and next, then transfer
under duress, and acheive 20 points after transfer, would we have a case for
suing the PCT for loss of income? If we change and have to offer 1/2 hr
appts to cope with the new software, we (and the PCT) might find itself the
wrong side of the Access targets...
What fun...
(Anyone seen official confirmation (website) of IDX and InPS as preferred
options for the southern cluster?)
