Judith Faulkner's crony-"capitalist" Epic Systems has lost the support of Mother Jones.
...even left-wing Mother Jones
magazine reports this week that “instead of ushering in a new age of
secure and easily accessible medical files, Epic has helped create a
fragmented system that leaves doctors unable to trade information across
practices or hospitals. That hurts patients who can’t be assured that
their records — drug allergies, test results, X-rays — will be available
to the doctors who need to see them. This is especially important for
patients with lengthy and complicated health histories.”...
There's a large and growing cottage industry in Madistan consisting of ex-Epic employees who get top consulting dollars to fix the problems Epic causes.
So there's that, I guess.
Of course, those consulting dollars are charged, ultimately, to people who pay medical bills--and the taxpayers.
