The iBus is a further extension of the “smart room”. If you watch the video below it explains a bit more. What I like is the big screen here, the older we all get, the bigger screen we like. It’s nice to see the electronic records show on a large screen as well. What is interesting...

CCHIT, the certification for electronic medical records and standards has been in the news quite a bit lately, even with a company in Texas making the offer to certify records. As technology gets more complicated and certification of the algorithms used for records gets more complicated, so goes...

It may be a while before meaningful use gets its full authority and I do hope they included medical devices in the interpretation too. What devices and their reporting data is meaningful? CCHIT has the authority to certify according to the news today until the end of the year. BD The...

The battle heated up today on whether or not CCHIT should be the governing certification unit in it’s present state, the big battle being over including vendors on the board. I think the most unfair portion though is the fee to be certified and if that could be reduced to allow additional vendors...
