It's incredible, isn't it, especially when the doctors are all part of the same vast healthcare organization -- and you still have to complete the same paperwork! It's even more frustrating when you know they'll then take...

No, some practices continue to rely on faxes as the physicians don't want to use the text-based system. However, the CIO hopes that improved efficiency and accuracy translate into improved payments which, as an ACO, means...

You may want to check out some online communities that specifically address people with similar issues, Laurie. I cannot imagine you are alone in this frustration and, although I am no expert in this matter, some phones...

If I ran Google, I wouldn't have been so quick to make this change if, indeed, a change was warranted yet. It seems to have been an act to appease Russia, a much bigger market than Ukraine (with or without Crimea). As we...

I'd say this is a very logical and fair assessment of this update. 8.1 Update is clearly better for keyboard and mouse users accustomed to the nearly 20 year old UI introduced in Windows 95. And while not the most elegant...
In reply to: Re: Does Microsoft have a clue?
The majority of the changes that have been introduced since 8.0 RTM have been additive mostly in the form of new configuration options or naturally occurring behavioral changes based on the input type. In fact most of the...

Considering that hackers are already increasing in sophistication (http://www.hpenterprisesecurity.com/ponemon-study-2013), the addition of more entry points needs to serve as a wake up call that data security is everyone's...

Thanks for the kudos but I'm no genius in that department just wrote about what I saw. Maybe it's that hands on background with writing an EMR years ago and integrating it with billing software that does it for me:) ...

I intensely dislike what I see going on in the UK: Bedroom tax, suss laws, and an unrepresentative ruling class. I am curious though, why it should be Google that censors, and if we allow that to happen (we all oil the wheels...

It is getting better, but nothing in the Win8.1Update makes me want to give up Win7 on the desktop. Still too much of a learning curve for the existing Win7 customer base and I'm sure most corporations feel...

It costs money. Duh.
In reply to: Re: Too many features, not enough benefits
I'm not questioning that W8.1 Update is a big improvement. My comment addressed the volatility of the UI. Microsoft seems to think that the W8 user base has nothing better to do than keep relearning how to use...

Josh-- I agree with what you're saying, but you do gloss over the fact that developers favor "working" over "beautiful interfaces". The challenge with Docker and PaaS is that you end up having to spend a lot of time...

@MedicalQualk, Interesting that you called it that the HHS Secretary job would prove to be "all about health IT." I suspect she came into office thinking the job was alll about healthcare policy, with IT as a detail that...

Interesting post, I wonder how many EHR vendors even have Stage 2 certified ""Basic EHR's" available. How "basic" can an EHR be and still comply with Meaningful Use Stage 2? I agree with you Ken, Stage 2 is daunting enough....

I stand by the assertion that Windows 8.1 Update is the best version of Windows 8-- but I admit, I toyed with a paragraph along these lines: "Windows 8.1 Update offers the best blend yet of Windows Store and legacy apps,...

Thanks for sharing those resources, Lawrence. Based on your wargaming suggestion, sounds like hackathons could help teach some critical thinking, too. I am going to ask my Twitter contacts about similar resources on IT administration....

Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
