I've only been around fora few years but in that time I have personally witnessed computer aided medical transcription become a real source of time and dollar savings for the work of medical transcription. I'll admit that all my experience in the industry has been for the first in KLAS speech rec company and so I am perhaps predisposed to think and say so...but still.

No where in the legislation is CCHIT mentioned, though the CCHIT folks and their suuporters certain infer otherwise. Hopefully, wiser minds will realize what you states above that CCHIT certification would put a sword into the heart of innovation, but maybe that has already happened as I saw little true innovation on display at HIMSS. Mr HIStalk,

I'm sure there is a reason for the dislike of the company and it could very well be the enterprise things you mentioned. To be honest my knowledge of the enterprise side isn't so strong with GE. I'm more a follower of Logician/MedicalLogic applications, which I believe are doing well in the market. anonymous: You can pretty much say that about any company. (MSFT, Misys, MCK, etc) "(insert here) - where good products go to die" [From Mr. HIStalk] Just to clarify, the genesis of this discussion was the HISsies, nominated by and voted on by readers. My opinions toward GE (which I admit are mostly negative) really didn't play into that result. And when I voted with my one vote, I didn't vote for them as the worst vendor on that list. duuude:
