Jim Mullowney, Billings Clinic  "In my eight years here at Billings Clinic, and 15 years in healthcare organizations, I don't believe I've had a better relationship with a vendor or better service.  On behalf of our organization I want to let you know how much we  appreciate it, and I reassured we are in continuing to move forward with more BW projects.  Thank you."

Shirley Hammack, I.T.  Financial Analyst, Duncan Regional Hospital "Don't forget the speed factor.  Scriptlink works at the speed of a very quick operator.  Boston WorkStation is a rocket car."

Fred Henning at Alexion Brothers says: "In 1991 we first contracted for STAR I found MicroScript - the original version of Boston WorkStation and convinced HBOC (now McKesson) that it would not 'harm' STAR because it was just another user. It was like non- invasive surgery! I would present talks at SPUG, TIMES, InSight, etc. as the User Group name changed. It works and you need it." 

Mitch Lawrence at Christus Health says: "As of this morning, we have 405 different Boston Workstation scripts scheduled to run on 9 different virtual servers. Our scripts range from automated printing, MARS queues, PDF downloads, vendor downloads, password changes, file transfers, etc etc.

That is only for Meditech C/S scripting. The product has a wide array of uses, and can be used for pretty much any application. Given its VBA backend, the possibilities are pretty much endless."

Kim Scaccia at Halifax Medical Center says: "We are currently using Boston Workstation which is a wonderful product.  Not only is it effective, but it is extremely user friendly.  Currently, in my area, we have NPR Reports that run (nine of them) every thirty minutes from Meditech C/S as well as a set of daily reports (15) which runs automatically at 1:30 in the morning.  In our Main Data Management area, we have a script writer that uses the software to develop dictionary maintenance/update scripts as well as scripts to print reports to all different areas of our facilities (we have multiple sites).

"The huge benefit I see in Boston Workstation is that we have the ability to leverage it with software other than Meditech.  In PBFS, we currently use it to connect to Excel, Monarch, Notepad, and Meditech.  We have even been able to successfully write scripts with it to FTP files and all of our scripts have the ability to send e-mails to notify users of successes and failures."

Michael Laban at Eastern Connecticut Health Network tells the Meditech L: "We use Boston Workstation to run reports, to complete other routine work, and for special projects.  The "rule" based tool is easy to use and works well with Magic or Client/Server.  And the support is amazing - Boston Software Systems will help you write any script over the phone if you're stuck on how to get something done.  The plus side of Boston Workstation is that it isn't limited to Meditech, you can use it to script into almost any product including web pages." 

Sherry Mitchell told the Meditech L: "I've been using Boston Software Systems' Boston WorkStation for scripting for two and a half years.   This product alone has saved us countless hours of keying Live and Test dictionaries for nine facilities. Last spring I wrote a very time consuming and complicated script to sync Scheduling dictionaries.   Since its introduction, I have used UNISON to sync a number of dictionaries including MIS User and Preference Cards, and I'm having a blast getting these done.   UNISON's support and development group listened to my suggestions and have incorporated them into version 2. I'll be able to do multiple field lookups or change all or part of a field so that I can copy dictionaries from one facility to another and much more in much less time for myself and my co-workers!"
  
Denise Morell at Spring Harbor Hospital says this about UNISON: "The thought of writing a script for the BAR Procedure dictionary for our behavioral hospital always left a pit in my stomach because it's much more complicated than the BAR dictionary at an acute hospital. In fact, I had never even attempted it before UNISON. But UNISON has tamed the beast that has haunted me, and made it look really simple in the end.  Working with your support people has been awesome - I'm looking forward to the next time that I'll have to use the product."
