Pushing a Mule Saturday, January 31, 2009 One of our favorite embracers of (our favorite) technology, Gregg Alexander, has some interesting thoughts about obtaining and implementing an EMR. It's worth checking out: Intelligent Healthcare Information Integration ~Lisa Bond posted at 6:21:46 AM Patients Want Continuity of Care! Saturday, January 31, 2009 I'm a mom of four boys first and foremost. My beloved family doctor moved on to another town (ironically, looking for a school embracing technology). So I have spent the last five years searching for my own continuity of care. I want someone to treat our whole family, to look at a diagnosis with an understanding of our history (why else would I fill out all those forms?), and to relate my children to each other. I have been to practices with over ten doctors, and rarely seeing the same one twice, they are not even able to recognize why I'm coming in for follow-up visits. Even in the small, hospital-owned practice I've found and come to love, the doctors are rotated and never stay long. I don't blame the physicians...most have had expenses skyrocket and insurance payments cut. Especially in the pediatric office, the rules are mind-boggling and the rewards fewer each year. So as I go to my next appointment in the beautiful, new, hospital-owned building, and the doctor will refer to Riley as a girl or Camden as Cameron, and won't know that we're here for a follow-up from our specialist visit and I will have to remind her...I will know that a single application could change all that. ~Lisa Bond posted at 6:03:30 AM Is it even possible? Sunday, January 18, 2009 Just hours away from being sworn into office as the President of the United States, our heads are spinning in anticipation of President-Elect Obama plans to do to meet his five-year goal of creating a paperless medical environment in the United States. Take our quick, one-question survey to let us know what you're thinking! ~Courtney Larned posted at 5:49:01 PM |
