I had about 100 patients with the program over the past 3 years, only about 7 remain subscribers today. Of those, 4 are thinking of giving it up. Generally, the number of renewals has been very small. Most keep it for a year and then fail to renew. The cost of the records gathering was also prohibitive for a few of my (sicker) patients. Some complain that I am the only doctor that honors the records on the MedeFile service as legitimate.

Personally, my office has to print out the records from the device and then store the paper copies in my files, as if they were old-school records. In the future, my practice will upgrade to eClinicalWorks software and this practice will cease. I will have to scan the printed records from MedeFile into the sysrtem or ask the patient to separately request records be faxed directly to my office (where they are automatically placed into the eCW system).

Unfortunately, for this reason, and knowing the state of many of my colleagues' practices, I see the window closing for MDFI unless they get their act together - and soon.
