| HITlaw 9/1/10 (2 comments) To Frank P, I agree about the meaningful ruse. The NIST script for testing and certifying the devices for the meaningful ruse is an example. The requirements are elementary. I could see EMR and CPOE devices getting a perfect score on this script, [...] |  not tired of suzy rn 2010-09-02 10:11:58 |
| News 9/1/10 (6 comments) So, what color will Allscripts go to next? If you look at their acquisitions, they’ve just about hit them all – Medic – Green, Misys – Purple, A4 – Blue, Allscripts Red, Allscripts Misys – Orange and now Allscripts Eclipsys – Green Also – why is [...] |  newbie 2010-09-01 23:02:53 |
| HIStalk Interviews Nancy Ham and Nancy Brown, MedVentive (3 comments) Wow! This is one of the best articles I’ve read in a long time. I don’t know if I agree with “not tired of suzy rn” or not. I’ll hold off on my assessment for now. The fact is, we have to do SOMETHING to manage individual and populations of pat [...] | RustBeltFan 2010-09-01 20:07:52 |

| CIO Unplugged 8/25/10 (83 comments) Having spent a lot of time with doctors, even those at the top of their field, I tend to think many of them are not the people of science that you would expect. There are a few exceptions, but….. Many times, they just haven’t got a clue, so th [...] |  Ozymandias 2010-09-01 09:30:31 |
| Readers Write 8/31/10 (4 comments) Evan Steele makes an excellent point: “Without such a system, downtime can become more than an annoyance — it can be a life-threatening event.” There is need for for data on the adverse events from planned or unplanned downime and the delays th [...] | not tired of suzy rn 2010-08-31 10:24:43 |
| Monday Morning Update 8/30/10 (16 comments) to John@chilmark. The problems were easy to anticipate and should have been addressed PRIOR to implementation, not the other way around. Admitting problems you should have known about beforehand doesn’t buy you anything. [...] | Winston Zeddemore 2010-08-30 12:55:34 |
| News 8/27/10 (5 comments) hmmm..another Klas report touting the wonders of Epic. Now it is the solution organizations receive the most value from for dollars spent?? Really?

| Monday Morning Update 8/23/10 (31 comments) Re: DOD If anyone knew about this procurement they would see that DOD cannot sole source this puppy. So, the Epic everywhere model will not work. It will have to be split up between three vendors and most likely be complex and cost more than it sh [...] |  All for the cause 2010-08-27 11:31:33 |

| Healthcare IT from the Investor’s Chair 8/23/10 (10 comments) With all due respect, and I really mean it; Axolotl purchase was not even near 9x revenue. It sold for 2/3x revenue. It was shopped for over a year. Axolotl would have taken 4/5x, but many passed because the technology was stale and state market co [...] |  In the KNOW 2010-08-24 16:41:09 |
| HIStalk Interviews Peter Neupert, Corporate VP of Microsoft’s Health Solutions Group (9 comments) The more things change, the more they stay the same… I could reach back and hear this interview in 1980 by DEC, or IBM in 1985, or, even GE in 1970! Ho hum… [...] |  HISJunkie 2010-08-23 19:33:59 |
| News 8/20/10 (6 comments) Chicago is ingenious with its EEG set up. Think of all of the problems that can occur, especially, misidentifcation or incorrect tests.

| HIStalk Interviews Larry Hagerty, President and CEO, MedAptus (3 comments) It seems like practices that move to electronic systems are the only ones that can easily handle increased regulatory requirements.

| CIO Unplugged 8/12/10 (112 comments) Great Article! I have coined a term just for this same situation.

I heard they’ve said they won’t support ICD-10 in MyWay since it will be sunsetted in 2012.” Unverified.

| News 8/6/10 (13 comments) @Skeptical: I have heard the same thing as the Anonymous above about the costs in the long run. Whether or not that is true, selecting and implementing another vendor and then switching to Epic is more expensive than choosing them in the first place.
