Does anyone out there use Midmark for PFTs in their office? Do you have to install on each PC that utilizes it? How do you like it?

Generally speaking, it works as advertised.
For a local install, yes, you have to load it on each PC on which you do studies, although you can also run it off Citrix instead. We installed locally, using the Oracle InstantClient (rather than EMR FAT-client) and create a unique login within Oracle Enterprise for the ODBC rather than just using REPORT.
If you want to be able to click all the features of saved studies, you'll need the Midmark viewer on each device (or each Citrix server). We instead went with just saving as PDFs instead. It's a tiny client.
Midmark imports the image and adds values to the EMR flowsheet as advertised. We've had some issues there, but mostly because of our network configuration, not Midmark.
Installation support is very good; ongoing/upgrade support is good, but only if you have a contract.
We haven't tried Welch-Allan although they've got a similar product. If you can find the old CHUG postings, there's a lot on Midmark.
