- Easier to deploy than synoptic
- Lacks data standardization at gross and diagnostic levels
- No education component for residents or PA’s
- No structured data for later data retrieval (QA or research)

- Requires considerable MD commitment (get this in writing beforehand)
- Templates take time to learn especially for people used to a Dictaphone-style system
- Requires software tool for development of hierarchical, contextual templates
- Elegant, structured and searchable
