I meant to post this a long time ago and never got around to it. Although, I think it was one of the really interesting announcements at HIMSS. Here’s a portion of the press release from Quest about their EHR offering:

I must admit that one person that I was very excited to meet at HIMSS was Evan Steele, the CEO of SRSsoft. Evan and I had interacted a number of times online. Plus, I love an EMR vendor CEO that has a blog. Not just any blog, but one that broadens the...

Try to get a straight answer on how much an electronic health records system cost for a hospital (yes, I sometimes talk about hospital EMR on this blog too) and it’s nearly impossible. Of course, it’s the number one question on most hospital...

One of my readers sent me the following email…
New England Journal of Medicine survey: 46% of primary care physicians would quit if Obamacare becomes law!
I’m not sure I agree with the statement. Should I? If this does happen, how will it...

Time for a break from the regularly scheduled HIMSS programming (sorry there’s just a lot of HIMSS content to still be published) for some thoughts and comments on the EHR Certification Interim Final rule. What can I say? I was inspired by CCHIT’s...

If you didn’t know better, you might guess there’s something else going on in the picture here. This system is more expensive than one that use finger tip scanning, but they were luck with a grant and were able to put the system into operation. As is mentioned, biometric check in systems...

Success and failure are often separated by the slimmest of margins. To succeed, sometimes you have to be prepared to think on your feet. You have to outthink unfavorable circumstances. Often, success or failure hinges on how you present an idea.

Well, as you might have noticed, I decided to take the weekend off from the blog. I figured it was reasonable to take a weekend off after the craziness of HIMSS. I still have a ton of content from HIMSS 10 that I’d like to post. So, watch for more...

I’m still working through some of the various wrap ups from HIMSS that I’ve found. Matthew Holt is always an interesting blogger. Turns out that he’s even more interesting in person. Here’s a few of his thoughts that I think are...

Some providers are changing their EHR system. Why?
Why indeed? What precipitates the need to change? I bet if you take the top five or seven EHRs, and compare them to a rigorous set of requirements you will find they all score within one standard deviation of the norm. You won’t hear that from...

The Happy Hospitalist blog tells of his own experience in getting records from Walter Reed Hospital, and as you can see, it’s a long time. He’s treating a patient who had surgery there 3 years ago and needs the information to provide a treatment plan for the hospital. This is very good work...
