Then, they went on to say: “I have installed (successfully and not so successfully) EMR’s and clinical systems from most vendors since the mid 90’s and found almost all vaporware looking for their next sale, but not too worried about their last.” Thankfully, I know a couple EMR vendors that aren’t just “vaporware looking for the next sale.” Sadly, far too many of them are.

Disabled so that movement, especially walking, is difficult or impossible: Weak and ineffectual; unsatisfactory: I just saw some seriously lame legislation proposed out of New Jersey by some ill-informed congressional lackey MANDATING that all EHR’s be certified through CCHIT. This is absolutely ridiculous. Do you really want to outlaw Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault in the Garden State? I mean get real! The unintended consequences of such legislation is highly problematic and well described by David Kibbe, Fred Trotter, Ignacious Valdez, Neil Versel, and others. I have seen CCHIT make great efforts to correct this and make the process more open but they have a fundamentally flawed and constrictive position – that they alone can bestow the quality sea...

Many folks have asked for more details about how the product will be promoted and sold. Here's the answer based on followup calls with the Wal-mart folks running the project.

Inspiring or deserving pity. Arousing contemptuous pity, as through ineptitude or inadequacy. There have been several interesting reports that have recently been published regarding the adoption and use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) by our health care system. The articles provide an interesting contrast into the promise and potential of EHR’s but also the pitiful progress that we have made as a country in utilizing these tools. First the good news. The most recent issue of Health Affairs higlights Kaiser Permanente’s experience with the largest civilian EHR implementation ever and the corrolating impact of extending that technology to its members.The article is impressive, and highlights the amazing work that Kaiser has done in impacti...
