It is vastly inferior to the system that came before it and it nearly doubled the workload in my job. The company that makes this software had no previous experience in making any kind of software of this type so it was likely the cheapest and worst option and is incredibly cost-ineffective due to production hours lost.
I went to see my specialist last month for the results of my MRI and the report wasn't even sent. The assistant had to get on the phone to ask where the hell it was. We then had to wait over an a haf hour for it to be faxed over
