| Hard to say since I don't have first-hand experience with this system. From their web site it would appear that they are closed-source which is a pretty major flaw in my opinion backed by careful reasoning. They claim to be able to import data from other hospital systems, but I would maintain healthy skepticism on that. Other than that, the usual drawbacks apply: vendor lock-in, non-standard interface, vulnerability to vendor increasing prices, going out of business, buyouts or changes in corporate agenda. The server can be Unix which is good, the client is Windows 95 which is bad.

First of all I'm a nurse, and pretty much computer illiterate. What I'm trying to do is find some answers to why some of my documentation is missing especially medications. We have a real problem at work with sharing passwords, screens left open etc... I am also wondering if some of my documentation might have been deleted intentionally, or unintentionally. Tell me a little bit about why close source, vendor lock in, non-standard interface, and Windows 95 is bad. Cybernius said that they could find no record on the Cyberren program of the specific deletions, however I didn't expect them to come right out and tell me any problems they have had with their software. Another concern I have is potential loss of information, this program crashes weekly, and becomes very slow to respond freezing screens for 10-20 mins a time
