The line of sight part makes sense to me. Reduces the chance of collisions I would think.
The commercial/non commercial part makes no sense to me at all. Not sure what problem that part is trying to solve.
In reply to: LoS part, okay. Commercial part, huh?
That's a great point. There's often a lot of fiefdom-protecting that goes on. I think in part it might be driven by company culture, where everyone in the organization feels like they have to cover their butts and protect...

Does 'best' equal 'most expensive'?

In many cases, how will the patients know EHR is used? They usually still fill out paper forms.
In reply to: How will they know?
The exceeding expectations one is good. More often than not, you'll spend time later explaining that you always beat deadlines. In those cases, your boss might even ask you what you're doing with the extra time...

Myth No. 1: Under-promising and over-delivering is the best way to impress I see this so much in the IT field that it makes me wonder where it all started and how we can end it. I think of Scotty fixing a...

@cafzali,
I agree with you to a point. It's easier to stay in closer touch with 'fringe friends' as I call them. The closer friends, you'll most likely speak to on the phone or communicate via text, right?

The last thing you want to hear about your Android based phone is that the UI is gimmicky. I knew there would be trouble when I heard that it would be locked down to Amazon's app store. That has been the kiss...

Everything you say is so true. Every healthcare CIO I speak to cites "finding and retaining top IT talent" as their No. 1 challenge. Every project is a priority -- until, like ICD-10, it isn't. The change to value-based...

For me, less invasive and more complete wins out over the fear of robots inside of me. I've heard stories of leaches and maggots used to clean wounds, I'm not seeing how a robot maggot would be any worse, at least...

The high cost of self-pay insurance was one major reason I returned to corporate work after 10 years as a successful freelance writer and editor, so I know exactly what you mean @Gary-El. Three years ago, I spent about $600...

There are a lot of dynamics at play here, and suffice it to say that our Healthcare system is severely screwed up. Hospitals rely in a huge extent on payments from insurance companies, and insurance companies have...

Some of these issues do seem to be more political than having anything to do with vendors. It's always easy to take a potshot at EHR developers, but I agree with you and Mansur who was quick to point out that HIXs -- and...
In reply to: Re: Spiteful, Obstinant & Futile
I gather EHR interoperability has improved a lot but, compared with other industries, healthcare is severely lacking -- and that is what lawmakers in this committee appear to be frustrated and angered by, especially as taxpayer...

The great thing about shelter adoptions today is all pets come equipped with chips. I know when we adopted Jasmine, her chip was programmed with our name and address. She's a pampered little house cat, but in the cases of...

@mak63: I did see many of these apps tended to be for iOS although I tried to find a mix for both platforms. In a search on Google Play, I came across several dog-whistle apps. Being the owner of two cats and zero dogs (and...

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.
IT Salary Survey 2014: Networking
Data center managers make slightly more than networking professionals, with middle-aged men on the coasts faring best. Both staff and management are optimistic about their career paths.
