I have to hand it to them, this business model of spinning and schmoozing the big brass into thinking everything's fine and cutting edge is very very successful. It's a bit like the sub-prime mortgage market in that no senior managers would believe what was happening until it went belly up. They can only perpetuate this status quo if they prevent real users (the nurses, docs and clerks) from attending the conference. If that happens, the truth about how poor and clinically unsafe some of the software is will come out, and then the illusion's over. They care about profits not patient safety or stopping duplication of information, look at the UK experience on the internet as proof. They’re still carpet bagging the UK for all it’s worth.
