Well, well. Wisconsin's single largest beneficiary of ObozoCare makes the news again.
And it ain't pretty.
...Last week, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital revealed in a statement
that a procedural flaw in its online health records system led to
potentially deadly miscommunication between nurses and doctors. The
facility sent Ebola victim Thomas Duncan home despite showing signs of
the disease — only to admit him with worse symptoms three days later.
Hospital
officials, who came forward "in the interest of transparency,"
initially cited workflow and information-sharing problems for the
botch. "Protocols were followed by both the physician and the nurses,"
the statement noted. "However, we have identified a flaw in the way the
physician and nursing portions of our electronic health records
interacted in this specific case."...
Yah. Guess whose brand-name appears on the "electronic health records"?
...Texas Health contracts with Epic Systems for its electronic medical
records system — and the Dallas hospital isn't the only client that has
complained about its costly information-sharing flaws and
interoperability failures....
There's a reason for that, and it's been common knowledge in IT circles for 10 years or more:
...Epic has been the subject of rising industry and provider complaints about its antiquated closed-end system....
Rough translation of the problem: Epic's systems are speaking Old Slavonic; the rest of the systems world is speaking English.
But ya'know, a few million here, a few million there, (all to Democrat corruptocrats) and voila!! It's the 'system of choice!'
And in an ObozoCare world, dead patients are a feature, not a bug.
First ebola US patient Thomas Eric Duncan is dead.
ReplyDeleteHow epic.
Criminal conspirator Epic Systems founder Judy Faulkner joins Forbes list of richest Americans with stolen taxpayer paid contracts and sub-sub-par shitware.
ReplyDeleteFirst ebola patient diagnosed in the US, stupid-ass selfish law-breaking lying asshole Thomas Eric Duncan, who purposefully brought ebola to the US with complete criminal careless disregard for the greater good, has died.
