As a former senior officer of a health care company and an old-time tech User, I could not agree more with the opinion that IT is generally used as the scape goat department by incompetent Users who generally ill define...

Curious to hear from anyone who has adopted Outlook.com as their primary email client. I've seen reviews but haven't heard from anyone who has used it on an ongoing basis.
In reply to: Have you tried Outlook.com?
Curious whether adding related apps makes this product significantly more attractive in its niche, which is mostly solo practitioners and small practice groups, usually with iPad enthusiasts.

I get that Microsoft's angle for this is privacy considerations with the scanning Google does, but it feels like Microsoft is grasping at straws by calling Gmail outdated. I don't know anyone who would ditch Gmail in favor...

It's unclear how CommonWell will mesh with other interoperability efforts. Barnes would not confirm that CommonWell plans to connect to the eHealth Exchange, which would require it to meet EHE/Interoperability Work Group...
In reply to: Re: How will this mesh or compete with other Healthcare Information Exchange efforts?
I understand the need for companies to push out new features in order to compete -- we see this from Facebook all the time, regardless of whether or not the feature makes sense. One day we'll look back at Instagram and say,...

What problems does this solve that other HIEs do not? Or is the idea to prototype technologies and methods that could be incorporated into HIE initiatives?

I still think it comes down to knowing your audience. Social media managers should have a thorough enough understanding of their fans and followers to know how they'll react to a post.
In reply to: Re: Great List...
I'm seeing a lot of this as well, many of the younger IT folks want to branch out on their own and run the show and not many are talking about moving up the IT ranks. I don't know yet if this is a good thing or a bad...

I used EpicMix when I was at Vail a few years ago -- it was fun to see how far I skied and how much terrain I covered, all while the mountain collected valuable information on wait times, popular slopes, that sort of thing. For...

ACM, that's a sobering observation. Do you think IT professionals have actually been buying into the hype and think they can easily implement SDN, and they'll be surprised when it's difficult? It seems awfully complex to...
In reply to: Re: SDN == OpenFlow?
The points you take issue with were based on Avon's CEO statement to financial analysts in 3Q that "the pilot technology platform worked well." What you're saying suggests the app was flawed from every perspective. As for...

Maybe they're wise to steer clear of the CIO role, which noted hospital CIO John Halamka recently referred to as an increasingly impossible job. See:

In reply to: Wise to steer clear of CIO role?
Yup. After a long business trip, all I want to do is get on the plane, pop in my headphones and vegitate. Won't be able to do that with someone sitting right next to me, talking about his depraved weekend in...

I fully agree! Nobody gets bent out of shape when an application is only available on Windows. Where is the demand that all applications ever published have to run on OS X and Linux as well? And where is the complaint that...
