It's great to see someone elses WISH LIST.
GUI's are on the way and will provide the functionality you seek, but
there will always be aspects of the software that can be improved. For
the time being I am very satisfied with EMIS and beleive that it is the
best Medical Software program available.
It is said that 90% of users only use 10% of the capability of any
software. I suspect that is very true of Drs using the current Medical
software available.
Rob.
