It really is just the old PerSe Ansos offering that is built on a 1980's platform. Where is the patient in this product? It says nothing about the patient, leveraging clinical data, or providing staffing according to patient condition based on... what? Where is the patient centered acuity that would drive staffing (the holy grail for nurse staffing and true balanced workload assignment)?

That's kind of old news, is it not. And whatever happened to PDF-Healthcare, seems to having fallen completely off the map. CCR as a passport? That’s kind of old news, is it not.

It is the blend of Mr.HIStalk sardonic perspective and Inga's sweet enthusiasm combined with facts, rumors and rampant speculation that keeps regular readers informed and entertained. Your criticism is on par with pointing out historical inaccuracies in Monty Python’s Holy Grail or protesting the portrayal of American Indians in Blazing Saddles. re Serrenity(sic) comments on Second Life piece: I am offended that you took offense.

While there is a great deal of potential, today it's hyped too much. A good defense/explanation of Second Life is here: http://torley.com/second-life-simple-answers-to-curious-remarks - but he fails to actually answer most of the real criticisms. My quick rundown: * Second Life is (mostly) a filthy red light district. * Second Life has almost no utility * Second Life is a declining community--so unless something changes, Second Life will get worse over time, not better.
