Saw your reference to the poor IT guys stuck with unreasonable expectations and ugly product limitations. I'm guessing in your shop, IT staff execute fairly close to flawlessly. Probably the same where ever Art applies his magic touch too. You claim it isn't worth it - are you sure? How many lives saved or improved because real mistakes are now avoided? Is healthcare better delivered on paper? Is there a way for you and Art to focus some energy on how IT shops could help execute these projects better? Any ideas how organizations can learn what to do? You give advice on what not to do, and why this might not be worth it. What advice can you offer for IT shops to help them execute? Might not be as exciting to see on a blog, but maybe you could do a second blog - HISWork instead of just HISTalk. That way people who weren't really interested in getting the job done wouldn't have to trouble themselves by weeding through all that boring stuff.

You claim it isn’t worth it – are you sure? How many lives saved or improved because real mistakes are now avoided? Is healthcare better delivered on paper?

Last time I checked, IHE utilizes existing standards, including HL7, to better achieve integration amongst disparate systems and uses workflows in support of this. As well, with Perot as an outsourcer to various Health Systems, they have to achieve inegration thru various means. Hamilton, are you asking whether Perot has participated in IHE or will now be joining? Your question is rather odd. I’m confused by Hamilton Swan question.
