Healthcare organizations (HCOs) of all sizes developed plans, began making IT modifications and began adopting the technology they needed to meet Stage One MU requirements and subsequently receive incentive payments, some of which began being disbursed in late 2010. read more (Source: Healthcare IT News Blog) Healthcare IT News Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4433159 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 18:53:35 +0100 4433159 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4294753&cid=t_181057_113_f&fid=34625&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FNeilVerselsHealthcareItBlog%2F%7E3%2F-Xob9ZUrOJc%2Fdell-to-buy-imaging-firm-insite-one.html I've just learned that Dell is making a deeper push into health IT by announcing an acquisition of cloud-based PACS and medical imaging systems vendor InSite One.

Just don't ask me to write a review. I barely keep up with this blog, ya know. But here is a review from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Note that the reviewer was surprised to learn the book wasn't about the so-called healthcare reform law, that the national media somehow think is a massive overhaul of the nation's healthcare system.

So, you can imagine my interest when I saw the announcement that Practice Fusion and Dell were partnering to offer a free EMR on Dell hardware. Of course, this is kind of a no brainer for Dell. At least if they like the Practice Fusion EMR product. Dell is all about getting distribution for it’s hardware. Why not bundle that hardware with a Free EMR? As long as it doesn’t hurt Dell’s existing EMR partnerships with: Allscripts, NextGen and eCW then it seems good for Dell. Dell obviously has a big interest in healthcare IT with all these EMR partnerships along with their purchase of Perot Systems. I did have a few questions about the Practice Fusion side which I...

Yes, we’re talking about the Dell that makes computers (and sells everything else under the sun). We’ve known for a while about Dell’s partnership with eCW and Walmart-Sam’s Club to sell EHR, but the thing that’s interesting about the CNET article is that it calls it “Dell’s EMR software.” I’m certain that Dell didn’t create it’s own EMR software package. I assume it has to just be eCW’s EMR right? To add to the fun, I even found the page http://www.dell.com/emr which talks about Dell’s foray into the EMR world. However, on that page it links to the Sam’s Club/Walmart/eCW EHR partnership as well. I have a feeling that the CNET article is just an ex...

Today I saw what seems to amount to a press release that talks about the “EHR Stimulus Alliance” and their tour to “educate 500,000 U.S. physicians about opportunities aligned with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.” This type of puffery just makes me sick. No. Not the educating 500,000 physicians. That’s a good thing and part of the motivation for this blog. The thing that makes me sick is this seems like just a big marketing campaign for Allscripts. Sure they have a list of other partners, but they’re basically partners of Allscripts. Check out the list: Allscripts, Cisco, Citrix, Dell, Intel, Intuit, Microsoft Corp., and Nuance. ...

For those that missed my comments, I wrote about the details of the Walmart EMR offering, and then A Doctor’s Perspective on Walmart EMR and eCW and Dell’s perspective on Walmart EMR. I saw the Walmart EMR listing on the Sam’s Club website a while back, but didn’t have a chance to post it. It’s really interesting to see an EMR listed at Sam’s Club. I also find it interesting to see that they chose to market it as an EMR and not an EHR. I think this actually is a pretty smart move since I think most doctors still call it an electronic medical record or EMR. Those of us in the industry somet...

Check out this website that talks about the “EHR Stimulus Tour: Educating the Nation.” Ok, I don’t really want you to check out the website, since I think it’s kind of sad. At the bottom it lists the “EHR Stimulus Alliance.” The following companies are listed in this EHR alliance: Allscripts Cisco Citrix Dell intel intuit Microsoft Nuance What a group of large companies trying to sell a bunch of product. I guess we should have expected something like this, but maybe I’m just a little surprised that they made a website for an EHR stimulus tour and everything. Interestingly the twitter link on the site goes to an Allscripts twitter account. I think we can clearly see who’s behind this website. Honestly, ...

I’m sure this could sound a lot like a sales pitch for Dell. It’s not intended to be a sales pitch for Dell. In fact, most of the solutions are being offered through Dell partners like Symantec, VMWare, Citrix, etc. I’d caution that you should look around since you can certainly find the exact same products from other sales channels than Dell. As always, it’s best to look around when purchasing any of the products described below. What I did find interesting was all of the various types of packages that Dell and its partners are trying to offer to healthcare IT. My big question for you, is how can we ever keep up with all these cool technologies? The following...

You can read about my first experience setting up the facial recognition software and my love affair with facial recognition as the best biometric solution. I admit that I still have a love affair with my facial recognition software. I use it every day when I sit down at my computer. I can’t imagine not having it. In fact, it’s almost time to replace my computer and I’ll be very sad if I can’t find a way to transfer the software to my new computer. It has its quirks, but I just love the added security that it gives me. I’m far too lazy to lock my computer screen myself and then log back in, but t...

I think this was a great move by eCW, Dell and Walmart.  Honestly, what do they lose by trying this out? Let’s not go overboard here.  I don’t see this offering completely changing the landscape of EHR.  Walmart has done that in a lot of areas, but EHR is not going to be one of them. However, Walmart could be a good lead generator for eCW and Dell.  Dell certainly has reached a point where they have a strong brand established and scale is their friend.  They want to distribute their product through as many ...

I previously posted a nice summary of how the Walmart, eCW and Dell EHR will work. If you’ve never heard about the Walmart EHR, then go read that post and come back. Offhand it would be really easy to criticize this move by Walmart (really Sam’s Club). I can just imagine doctors going down the aisle of Sam’s Club: toilet paper, candy bars, EHR software, oh yeah, I almost forgot the salsa. Honestly, does that sound right to anyone? However, I’m certain that many people said the same thing about getting TVs, vacation packages and tires at Sam’s Club when they first started offering those items as well. Toilet paper, candy bars and disney vacation doesn’t sound much...

They'll have Sams Club begin to work with Dell and eClinical Works, to provide hardware, software instillation, maintenance, and training. Marcus Osborne, senior director for health care business development at Wal-Mart, had this to say about their new offer:“We’re a high-volume, low-cost company. And I would argue that mentality is sorely lacking in the health care industry.” (Source: ePharma Summit) ePharma Summit blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2301623 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:00:00 +0100 2301623 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2258326&cid=t_181057_113_f&fid=34634&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FEmrAndHipaa%2F%7E3%2F_kl558EbLO0%2F The EHR world is abuzz with the Walmart announcement that it would be selling EHR software through their Sam’s Club division. In case you missed it, here’s the important details from the NY Times: The company plans to team its Sam’s Club division with Dell for computers and eClinicalWorks, a fast-growing private company, for software. Wal-Mart says its package deal of hardware, software, installation, maintenance and training will make the technology more accessible and affordable, undercutting rival health information technology suppliers by as much as half. They also make a projection of how much Walmart EHR will cost: The Sam’s Club offering, to be made available this spring, will be under $25,000 for the first physician in a practice, and about $10,000 for each addition...

Maintenance and support will run about $4,000 to $6,500 a year, the New York Times reports.Snicker, perhaps, but remember that the warehouse clubs offer a bit of everything. Sam's Club rival Costco Wholesale sells caskets, after all. (Just don't bundle those with EMRs. It might send the wrong message.)

They will be offering a packaged deal using their extraordinary buying power to implement an EHR for under $25,000 for the first physician and about $10,000 for each additional provider. With additional training costs, maintenance, & support between $4,000-6000 a year. I never thought Walmart would be one of the companies to throw their hat in the game so quickly. I surely thought it would be a technology company. Other than amazing buying power, from somewhat questionable practices to be debated somewhere else, what does Walmart have to offer Healthcare IT?
