Selecting a new computer system

We had Mysis for years and the previous comments pretty much sum it up. Every system will have its respective strong and weak points. As for the downtime files, it is a rather cumbersome system. We made the best of it by having the reports download automatically into a Notepad file.

We currently have Meditech. Lab general is better than the BB package. Meditech's training and support were and are pretty pathetic. Our trainer told us proudly that he never had to take a biology, chemistry or physics course in college. They hire computer geeks and semi-teach them how to use the system but the kids are clueless about lab medicine. That, on the other hand, is the strength of Mysis. Their support is great because they hired a bunch of seasoned med techs who wanted a change of pace. They know their system, but more impoprtantly they know lab medicine and what you need to do your job well and easily. And Tucson is a cool place to visit for training.
