This is kind of deceiving since this is past on a whopping 7 Misys customers (6 who said they were moving to Professional). Now assuming that roughly 2500-3000 providers on Misys EMR represent about 500-600 practices, it is very disingenuous to say that sampling a measly 7 is any kind of meaningful representation of the Misys EMR customer base. If you turned this kind of response rate back to any marketing person (let along an academic journal), you would be immediately questioned on such a ridiculously low response rate. “About 85% of Misys EMR users who plan to replace their EMR say they’ll go with Allscripts Professional EHR, which is being offered at a relatively low migration price.”

Correct me if I'm wrong but "free" just doesn't resonate. Are we really that naive??
