> Our ED has purchased the Logicare Checkout system and they have been very pleased.  It is written at a 5th grade level and the purchaser has editorial priviledges.  It starts with the JCAHO required learning needs assessment and will interface with our medical records so the documents are part of the permanent record.  It also has Spanish versions, however, I> '> m not sure they have been reviewed by our translation dept for accuracy.  I don> '> t want to sound like a market rep for Logicare but I have not heard very many complaints about the system.  Let me know if you have any other questions.
