Why forget the FDA. I used to work with Radiology systems. The minimum for our vendors the minimum they ever got charged for qualifying a medical device was $20,000. It is also at a very low level. When certification was complete a Bill of materials was setup and the computers systems are not supposed to deviate at all from them. This has to be done EVERY time you make a change to anything dealing with medical data.
I speak to getting good figures but I would suspect the know the importance of what they are trying to accomplish.

They be bound by the law but, look at the client of Bernie Madoff. Hey may be in Jail but, they still don't have their money.

Yes, but if AIG keeps dropping the the insured they will do somewhere else and it if becomes a large problem the hospital will not accept the insurance.
Curing patients of diseases has not stopped the flow of patients yet and we are far more efficient now then ever in the past. There are always new things that need to be treated. Besides the bread and butter is the basic stuff anyway... My arms is broken.... Here is your x-rays, your cast and my money.
Turning the patient onto a medication regiment has no bearing on the physician (besides the kick back from the pharma cos) or hospital (Unless they use the pharmacy at the hospital) besides if the patients stays continued medication is no guarantee on them returning to the hospital for anything else.
Why would I want transparency... To cover my ass, unless I keep on screwing up is a good thing. Sure it can nail you to the wall if you screw up but if the evidence is out in the open and you can show you followed that evidence you should be in the clear. Although with they juries want to give out cash weather it is transparent or not is probably not gonna matter.
Besides if your hospital doesn't provide results I'll to one that can.

Number 1 seems way off.
Caring for health quicker mean more efficiency and hopefully less mistakes. That leads to more patients maybe even more patients satisfied with their quality of care. This leads to better Ranking in US new which leads to more patients. This all leads to greater profits.
Depending on the school I don't see why you wouldn't. Having a dedicated police for to protect you millions in assets and thousands of residents make sense.
The university I went to had a police department that was a division of the state police and the officers rotated to different facilities throughout the area all of which were in different local jurisdictions. It seems to me having a single law enforcement team across all the facilities would by far more beneficial then dealing with 5 local offices that don't necessarily make you the number 1 priority.
Sure it could be simple to move the data around. The problem is changes all of the applications that access the data. Then you have to train all of the nurses. And let me tell you those nurses/doctors/tech love changes. My favorite calls after and upgrade are "All of my screens are different".
I have seen nurses quite because their screens changed.
I don't expect this for much longer. I work for a large medical facility and the vendor can no longer handle the amount of messaging and they are not going to expand their services. We are starting to work on something that would replace the pagers.
There are reasons we fall behind in education.
Every time someone's baby does bad on a test is going to get held back the school/state is sued so they make the test easier. Heaven forbid you stayed home one night and made you kid do their homework.
They really have to be careful though. A previous employer tried to stop a worker from going to a competitor. They based it on a non compete agreement and his "top secret" knowledge of the companies process and products. He sued the company to be able to change jobs and won, kinda. The court ruled they could not stop him from working. They could either let me take the job or they had to pay his salary until the no compete agreement was up.
He must have known some pretty good stuff they paid him for two years after his last day.
I think a lot of the problem comes form the local level. They don't care about the systems they use, they just want it to work like that other system they saw that day.
I deal with people (clients) who will put you on a conference call with other venders and contractors and say go work this out so we are happy, then drop off the call. Hevan forbid they ever need to answer a question about a business matter or validate that the group is thinking the same thing as them. When you are done, you have a customer that didn't get what the wanted because they cannot or will not make decisions or just said you know what I am talking about.
I would so love to work at place where somthing is planned more than the week before.
As for people trying new things it not that we don't want that or encourage that it is that when it dosn't work it become our fault and our problem. When your pc is hosed and you are not getting your work done it comes back on us as those sysadmins can't keep their crap running. In the end we get blamed for the downtime because sombody wanted to try somthing.
Just a side note on charing out the ass for upgrades on medical equipment. Most of that equipment needs to be certified by the FDA. We are not just saying this video card is ok either. We are saying this video card with this sound card with this mother board etc... At a minimun it takes about $20,000 and 6 months to complete. That is why you pay out the ass for upgrades.
There have been several Fan files made already.
The Force.net [theforce.net] hosts lot on their site. There are a few that are not to bad. The first to my knowledge was Troops a Cops parody and is one I tend to enjoy. At the end of the credits it thanks George for not suing them.
Ture but if you consider that the song from itunes is the only good song on the CD that is $10 x 250 million lost CD sales which is 22.5 billion big ones.

They might be but, there is already a standard. It is called HL7.

I always thought being an Engineering sucked because there were no hot girls in class.
This looks like the same like this keep the women away to.
