Welcome to our new site.

Forgive the inevitable bugs and rough edges.

There are new features, and some of the old features are gone.

First, what’s missing. We no longer have the email digests. I will miss them myself. But this is not a function of the new software. We also no longer have the individual blogs or the chat room, although these features were not used that much. The forum eCW Help Desk is no longer with us because it gave the unfair appearance of being an official eClinicalWorks Tech Support site. It was not. The company will continue to participate on the forum I am sure, but we’ll discuss topics in the proper categories and call tech support for more urgent help.

But, the forums have been reorganized to better facilitate browsing. The threads are going to be moving around a bit for a few days as we try and move old threads into new homes.

We have a new Tips and Tricks page, which will develop as a blog, accessed by our site moderators. Whenever a post is deemed to be particularly helpful (and you can hit the Report button and let us know if you think this is the case), it will be categorized and copied to the Tips and Tricks page which will, in time, become a compendium of usefulness.

And I am nervously going to try out a new section called the Bug Tracker. This should allow us a single place to report bugs, and I hope make it easier for eCW reps to follow these reports, which should be more organized and less repetitive (I hope). More on this to follow.

First things first… Go to Your Profile and Your Control Panel and update all of your information.

With the conversion, I lost a few things. I lost my list of moderators and specific user group members (e.g., the PM working group, the E&M;working group). Please PM if you were a moderator and you no longer are, or if you were a member of a specific group. Also, pm me if you’re interested in becoming a moderator.

Welcome!
