Dr. Ghaheri is an ENT/Facial Plastic Surgeon and Dr. Peterson is a hockey loving urologist. I loved their twitter exchange about email and Twitter follow up with patients, so I’m posting it here for others to comment on. UPDATE: Since there’s a problem with pulling in the tweets automatically from Twitter, here’s what was said: DrGhaheri Bobby Ghaheri, MD I use email and Twitter to follow-up on my patients. #hcsm hosewater2 Chad Peterson @DrGhaheri I don’t use email or twitter with patients. Just encourages unnecessary undocumented interactions. Is twitter HIPaa certified? DrGhaheri Bobby Ghaheri, MD @hosewater2 I ...

Considering the size of the contract, I thought it would be interesting to do an interview to learn more about the Allscripts and ACS (Xerox) relationship. The following is an email interview with Lee Shapiro, President, Allscripts and Chad Harris, Executive Vice President and Group President, ACS Healthcare Provider and IT Applications Solutions. They duck a few of the questions, but provide some information about their relationship that I think’s useful and interesting. Lee Shapiro, president, Allscripts What percentage of Allscripts Sunrise E...

Let’s walk with the Ghost of Best Actress Past. We’ll start today, just over two weeks following Sandra Bullock’s Oscar win for The Blind Side, and less than a week after Jesse James, her husband of five years, issued a public apology for cheating. Simultaneously, Kate Winslet and husband Sam Mendes publicly announced their split, a year after she collected her BA statue from the Academy for The Reader. This is a tough road, but let’s keep going. Reese Witherspoon was named best actress in 2005 (Walk the Line); she finalized her divorce with Ryan Phillipe in October 2006. Hillary Sw. was on top in 20...

The following summary was abstracted from GIDEON. Botswana 1985 - An outbreak (245 cases) in Maun was ascribed to possible water contamination. Central African Republic 2002 - An outbreak (48 confirmed cases) in Bangui may have been caused by contaminated drinking water. 2004 - An outbreak (10 cases) in Bangui was caused by contaminated water sold by a street vendor. Chad 2004 - An outbreak (1442 cases, 46 fatal) was reported in Goz Amer and Goz Beida - Sudanese refugee camps. 2005 - An outbreak (50 or more fatal cases) was reported in the area of Goz Beida (eastern Chad).
