When the American Academy of Pediatrics needs help sorting out 50-plus immunization registries around the country, they call Physician's Computer Company in Winooski. Since 1983, PCC has developed, delivered, and supported practice-management software to pediatricians in an effort to "remove all the obstacles that keep them from practicing medicine," according to manager Chip Hart.
PCC began when a local pediatric practice was told by its original computer company (a pre-IDX, IDS) that it couldn't be bothered to generate the dreaded "school forms" that parents need for school every year. One of the nurses in the practice suggested that her high school-aged son knew a lot about computers, and he was hired to find a system to replace IDS. John Canning's after-school, pre-dotcom idea has become a 40-employee, $5 million company right here in Vermont.
