heh…there’s a reason nobody has said a word about Intermountain and GE in 2009…doubtful there will be a response from UCSF…the remaining employees surely have been told to keep their mouths shut regarding the Centricity product they have worked on for years…

If Programmer is correct, then UCSF should provide its wisdom to all of us. Let us hear the details of their dysfunctional HIT equipment.

UCSF, are you listening and will you disclose to help us protect the safety of our patients?
