That's one of bigger problems GIGO. When jobs are being produced and the code needs to determine how to take the packages and fill a known weight and dimension limit - the thing that always causes problems is the humans doing the data input.

I received a nook and I gave one and one of the drawbacks is the price of the ebooks. Except for crap like Twitlight which is a few dollars - most of the books I'm interested in are $9.99.
It does support the EPUB and PDF and has no apparent DRM so it has it's advantages. I don't consider it a dud either. I don't read as fast as I used to and flipping a real page is just about the same time as the reader takes to show the next one (i think it's in the 1/2 second to second range) It does need a "zoom" as some of the PDFs I loaded don't show the diagrams with a larger font size. I think I need to look into converting the PDFs into a ebook format to see if that works.
The one I gave went to a huge hardcover reader so that should reduce his costs.
I'm still working on a couple of books I bought before I take a look at one of the Baen freebies that I loaded on it.
TL;DR - I like the nook - the prices of the books suck.

Computerized health care systems are not designed for the benefit of hospitals. They are designed for the benefit of entrepreneurs.
Yes & No.
Hospital Information Systems suffer from the "Enterprise"y bug. This is no different from any huge enterprise software system (I'm looking at ERP) in scope. Each vendor wants to rule the roost so the stuff barely talks to itself. Granted I did this in the late 90's / 00's.
For example, the hospital already had a clinical, lab, financial and registration system in place. (quite nice BTW - terabyte database supported 400 people simultaneously with SUB-SECOND response time). they brought in another enterprise wide "health care management system" with the same "features" but need a massive data center to support the activity on a Windows Server 2000 (i think). Think hundreds of servers stacked like Legos to get close to the throughput and disk of 1 medium sized mainframe
Problems:
1. you cant' get the data out of the old system (w/out massive time/human inputs)
2. both systems had incompatible registration/account management "ideas".
3. tied everything together with a big buck passer (see eGate talking HL7 - exact same functionality of Java Messaging Service (queues, guaranteed delivery etc))
4. a lab "silo" hanging off the side. (complete registration, billing, reporting etc)
Basically, the systems fought. The clinical system wanted the episode of care tied to a ICD9 code (what's your diagnosis/problem). The registration/financial system wanted the episode of care tied to dates. So the patient's records would bomb in the clinical side when the patient was readmitted for the same diagnosis on a different day. Mothers in labor typically did this. False labor pains in the night, come in & admitted. Nothing to worry about so the mothers were checked out. Next day mother checks in with real labor starting and boom the clinical system rejected the record.
Most of us in IT (lots of nurses) - "fuck registration" make sure that patient gets care. We'll fix registration/billing later.
Insurance co.s - Fuck you. "I'm sorry this bill has a wrong sub-sub-sub code - rejected". Fix the "error" w/ medical staff investigation and "I'm sorry this bill is rejected because it's one minute past the 30 day date for care". Fix resubmit. Oh, we'll can't pay everything - you're late and by contract we'll pay $$CARE - $$FEE =.25. Call someone who cares. Because we're the phone coinsurance company *snort*.
Granted nothings perfect 100% of the time but you get tired of the ins cos. real quick.
I'll pay more taxes for more teachers - I won't pay for:
administrators
extra curricular items that should really be borne by the parents & supporters
I'm still debating about other in-class items. The school just starting installing "smart boards" which are video presentation / white boards. If the classes need supplies the smart boards may be an extravagance.

Ah, That piece of shite. the earlier version was bad, very bad. Maybe it was the configuration but I don't know.
first off - massive data input that had to be correct before submit.
2nd - horrid UI - can't navigate worth a dam. "Where's X?" Oh, go to the "jumbo" and do X. Why the fuck isn't it on the first page.
3rd - where's the email ? Oh, did you select notify submitters(responders?). no. Why the fuck isn't that a default ?
