"There are no other programs for the Macs that run a medical
clinic so that also means that the Macs are history."
Do not give up on Macs in the medical market. This reply is a
quick summary of Medical Billing Packages for the Mac. Most
of them are multi-user and will support larger practices. The
descriptions below are a few I have found while looking. Most
references are current.
-------------------------
"Practice Maker Pro" - It's a marvelous FMPro Database that will do
everything you want and more! It can truly manage the practice,
including multiple docs, patients, family groups, billing,
reimbursement, and electronic claims processing and drug dispensing,
along with normal chart stuff, tracking, etc. The developer is a
physician himself and probably would be sympathetic to your cause. He
can be reached at

-------------------------
"Office Tracker Pro" - I believe we have a solution for the
community-based clinic. It sounds to me that if they use Milum's Office
Tracker Pro scheduling system they will have the info for the reports
they need. All they would do is schedule the immunizations, lead
screens, paps and when they would like to generate reports . Office
Tracker ships with sample scripts to build a filemaker database with the
information requested (all appointments for John Smith or all names for
the month ,year ect.) once in filemaker the report possibilities are
endless. Milum also can work with customers to create the exact solution
they are looking for. Demos of Office Tracker Pro are avalible from
Milum's web site at

"Helix" - I don't work for Helix, but you may want to check out
some posible solutions at the URL below. Helix is one of the first
database systems ever for the Mac, and is pretty friendly.

-------------------------
"Emergence" - We have just put up our emergency room management
software beta, Emergence, on the web for free downloading. Take a look
and see if it can help you. We have done extensive modifications since
we published this beta. It's a run time Filemaker 3.O database solution.

very powerful software with a totally Macintosh user interface. We will
continue to also offer our all Macintosh software--MediMac, DentalMac,
