Started using eCW recently. It takes quite a bit of time to make it what you want it to be. I still have a ton of templates to make. Everything requires multiple clicks too which slows even the most basic of office visits.
Careful how you click. Careful cut and paste. I have seen patients have several deficits and surgeries that was clicked passed and ignored on ecw. Doc looked like a *****. Try and make each note a useful clinical encounter to tell us what is wrong, what you found, and what your plan is. You can die tomorrow and I should pick up your chart and know how to proceed. Most current notes don't reflect this in many of the EMR systems out there.
I get to see them all.
VAMC and Kaiser are most painful to read.

Is there a pain specific EMR? AllMeds has a pain version and was good in its day but got left in the dust.
Not sure I see different emr guys at various pain conf but I stopped looking
I think at this point it's important to be aligned with a larger company because I'm not sure how long smaller comp can survive as there are constant regulations. Eclinical will be around
I thought ecw was like Epic and more geared to large integrated systems with pcpcs and everyone else. But I've never used it so I don't know... I did call them to ask about their clearinghouse. Was a bit pricey for my blood but at least they picked up the phone and they are an actual company with a reputation.
I heard that practice fusion directly emailed patients from doctors practices to sell their wares.

In my personal opinion,
Epic >eCW > Allscripts>meditech
