It can emulate the EMIS POMR structure quite nicely and can also group problems in many other ways so that you can view the same dataset from many different perspectives. Several ex-EMIS users have told me it a considerable improvement in data presentation. However most Vamp medical users still continue to use Vision as a flat database in chronological order because they have not been exposed to the glories of POMR Peter I agee, POMR is part of Vision if user wishes, but Vision scores in the multiplicity of viewing and handling data. Every partner can operate to his/her own style. This sophistication can be scarey to the new user and overwhelm. I personally use a different sieres of screens depending on the type of consultation I'm running. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
