Finally…

What I find amazing is that McKesson was able to bounce back and still compete in this market after what would kill pretty much every other company in this space. Good thing they are diverse enough to offset the few bad years. Didn’t they replace a Cerner, Epic, and Eclipsys site already this year in clinicals? (Trying to remember all of Mr. HISTalk’s scoops…)

I have to admit that I didn’t follow the trial closely at all but supposedly this was a case of long overdue justice. Interesting to see what his sentence and fines will be.

At the sentencing trial they should bring up the ethics and quality of his EHRs and their service. He’ll get life.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Hope he gets a year for every dollar…

I am disappointed to learn that Charlie McCall was found guilty of five of the six charges. I met him in 1993 and he was as close to a legend as could be found in our industry. Having said that, if he is guilty he must pay for his crimes just like any other common criminal. I hope he gets a cellmate named Maurice.
