Sunquest, a big player in Rad? Don’t be swayed just because they are now a sponsor. Rad is on a vent with a DNR recommended. The few US based Rad folks are stellar but India is making great strides in killing the line. Then another management “re-org” brought in greenhorns wiht no concept of customers driving the line. Sad too. It’s a good product not kept up with technology thanks to money hording “leaders”.

Re: Microsoft – Can’t believe the “M” moniker will last – it is an ANSI standard – and the coincidence with VistA is certainly annoying to those folks. But, “M” is very non-Microsoft-y. They usually co-opt real common use words like “Word”.

My research back in 2005 had Sorian investment at about $100mill. So by now it’s got to be about $130Mill+. Don’t know number for Profit …but since it’s been in devel for over 8 years must be a big number.

So you ask why such big bucks?
Here’s one reason – In the late 90’s PriceWaterhouse published a study that said there were about 11,000 pages of federal regulation needed to comply with business income taxes. And how many did they say it was to comply with hospital billing requirements??? Guess – then see below…

>>> 55,000!!

Inga-
If that black dress with the red-orange paint splatter on the front is any indication, perhaps you should be looking elsewhere for style ideas. Perhaps it just looked bad on my broadcast-signal TV, but was a jarring image in an otherwise flawless election night celebration.
