"1. I work in a large practice (30 gp's) and it takes a long time no less than 6-8 seconds per item to prescribe a medicine when I press the F10 button
2. Web enabled forms are great but in practice slow down our workflow..."

"Today for instance, I had the plug-in web based applications non functioning. This results in a few minutes of wasted time per time of use. Sometimes more than one incident per consultation. These were ACC forms and lab request forms. Yesterdays problem was the prescribing assistance for Pradaxa hanging for 5 minutes. Many of my colleagues are not prepared to wait this long, crashing out of the patient medical record system and writing prescriptions by hand. Hence the drug with high risk of adverse effect if not properly monitored does not appear on the electronic medical record at all."

"Often...when it runs too slowly or its association with other systems (eg Best Practise, healthpac) make the system run even slower / don't work at all."

"Lots of add ons which slows software"

"it runs too slowly or its association with other systems (eg Best Practise, healthpac) make the system run even slower / don't work at all."

"When we changed hardware Medtech threw up a lot of error messages; it took a long time with escalation of enquiries at the support desk to realise that there was a very quick fix. The error messages and numbers were of no use to identify this problem"

"I basically hate Medtech their support is appalling..."

"There were drug transcription errors in GP2GP notes transfers which could have had serious consequences for the patient and Medtech were very slow to sort (them) out"

"It is a dinosaur system and the developers have been sitting on their backsides because of a lack of decent comptitions"

"Medtech is slow and old but it is familiar and very reliable."

"Relatively intuitive - not complicated to use."

"It works most of the time. Easy to use basic functionality. However, there is no advance functionality beyond that. The system has not changed significantly since introduction 15 to 20 years ago"

"I know it, and used it for years, it is all simple. Other than hiccups on a single PC the system is stable. Locums and all new doctors and nurses have used it before. But I wouldn't say there is anything really useful about it."

"I would love to able to tick a combination of typically used medicines to facilitate easier / faster prescribing."

"Have the ability to add "auto complete" PDFs by the practice its self"

"More electronic forms rather than having to print out paper ones, integrated best practice guidelines to assist with management"

"speed, format of consultations "

"Make it all one sign on and password, not several. Make it one tab/drop down not multiple entry points."

"Addition of learning or evidence topics in the workflow of the EHR and gantt chart of medication use"

"Have a field to show when patient demographics were last updated and a prompt to check if not up to date. Similar prompts would be helpful for long-term medications and "classifications" (problem lists)"

"...there is scope for a lot more automation with incorporation of clinical guidelines into a PMR to ensure patients' results are appropriately actioned and that treatment plans meet current gold standards (I believe our PMRs should even out variability in practice between GPs so that every patient can achieve the same clinical outcomes)."

"Aesthetically MedTech as a system looks old and outdated - even MedTech Evolution doesn't look like a modern system."

"Make it more modern rather than working on a 1990 frame with things being added on "

"Medtech - I would change it so that it was less Dos and more Windows"

(In response to If you could make an update to your software, what would you change?) "Almost everything."
