I worry about them too - but both INPS and EMIS have their own products
- and have never followed the AAH Meditel/Torex/iSoft strategy of buying
other systems and hoping to convert users to their native product(s).
What about system 6000 users? Round here (Eastern) the only option on
offer appears to be TPP.. So maybe they wouldn't be so badly affected if
iSoft does go out of business!
I was really worrying about secondary care systems - including the 7
being supported by CSC and wondering whether there is a plan B both for
Trusts and SHAs - seeing they now have to implement it under NLOP
