Say it brother, this time louder.
The military has gone kicking and screaming into the process. Due to the size and cost of these projects PER HOSPITAL, the money is allocated years before, which means that the purchase is made one year, and implemented sometimes 2 or more years later. Guess what? They don't get the free up grade. We are using Essentris. It is working. Guess what? The year after the bought this program they bought a different one. Next year they take this one out and everyone has to learn the new one. Oh, and Essentris DOES NOT INTERFACE with CHCS except in a very limited way. It does not interface with the outpatient notes program CHCS2 Alta. So now we have three programs that are required to take care of one patient. None of them interface with the monitors. No real time data. Guess what? We use a paper chart for that stuff. The whole idea that Obama is going to pour money into the health care system and the private system at that is bullcrap. And if he does it is not going to fix it, but it will make a small group of people very very rich. So the private plastic surgery center is going to get free government money to go all electronic with their records? How about the privately owned doctors hospital? How about that 3000 bed inter-city hospital. Does anyone know just how much it would cost to wire up a 3000 bed hospital with computers, laptops, hard wire, training, programs, updates, onsite trainers, IT trouble shooters, etc.? The public is getting smoke blown up its collective skirt.

That's me. And I'll tell you. The big healthcare IT vendors are not structured to support implementations at smaller, rural facilities such as ourselves. The problem is that the basic infrastructure of a "paperless" hospital is NOT SCALABLE. (Because of the small size and lower volume of our facility, our resources in the IT department are very limited. However, we still have to build all the same systems and interfaces etc. as the larger facilities--which the big vendors are "tuned" to.)
This doesn't even approach the real issue: that the vendors approach the established standards of interoperability as a set of very loose suggestions, that they skirt or downright ignore at their discretion. Throwing money at this problem isn't going to fix a broken industry. The solution will only come when the vendors adhere to the interoperability standards THAT ALREADY EXIST AND HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO WORK IF IMPLEMENTED PROPERLY. Until that time, you will continue to need high-paid guys such as myself to stitch your disparate systems together.

![]() Maybe we need to change the capitalist system, and put a cap on how much individuals at the top can earn. Spread the wealth more evenly throughout the entire corporation and hospitals/doctor's offices. Allow all the people at the companies selling the stuff to make money off of it. Would that make you happy? Then it won't make a few people rich, it will make a lot of people more money than they have now. (why are my quotes all in italics? *scratches head* Does it always do that?) |

I recently heard something on PBR about a nuclear power plant that was supposed to be built. Initially, the cost was, like, 300 million or something (I don't remember exactly). Now the cost has more than tripled. WTF? How exactly does that happen? |

I think this line's mostly filler.

While they may have had no problem padding the cost, there's a good chance that they also woefully underbid the project in the first place.

This has been the rule, with no exceptions, since they've been building them. France has been successful with nukes by standardizing one design and let them build as many as they wanted, all alike. That way you know what you're building and how much it will cost, up front.

There is still the problem of nuke waste, where to store it.
Of course we couldn't put it where we did all those bomb tests, and won't be safe for a million years anyway. ![]()

WTF? You are OK with socialism for corporations and rich people, but not for anyone else? Damn classic. Please, read some David Cay Johnston.
