I’m a little surprised that you only placed Picis on positively stated questions within your HISies poll. In our experience, which has also been shared by several peer organizations within the region, Picis is not what we’d hoped it would be. I’d bet that, had they been a candidate on some of the more negatively phrased questions, you’d have received some more votes for them. I do remain hopeful, however, that their performance and our experience with them will improve over time.

From Mr. HIStalk: the nominees were from readers. I didn’t add or remove any – I simply pulled the nominees most often submitted. For Worst Vendor, Picis got one nomination. For Stupidest Strategic Move, one nomination. That wasn’t enough to put them on the ballot in either category.

Sam,
Greenway is a small practice management company with a very good reputation and products. I have met the owner, other executives and liked them. If you want to work for a small, family run company, then this is the place for you.

Looks like I may have taken your place Mr. HIStalk on being the cynic regarding RHIOs. With ONC’s budget flat in 2008, funding for NHIN initiatives, where a lot of these RHIOs get funding from , will take a BIG hit. This is but another coffin nail in many a RHIO. Talked about it further in a recent post over at ChilmarkResearch.com

You’ll also find another post there on the PACS roll-out in the UK, based on a report I found on an EU-centric eHealth site. Some impressive results.
