    the bulk of the population that built the ponzi scheme of Pensions, Social Security and Medicare is retiring and becoming useless to production in the country. They also vote the most consistently so politicians can not touch their take as they leave the country and companies broke.

    Epic's software is very usable. They are currently the market leader and people who have been on Centricty Enterprise are coming to them in droves.

    If only we had a gold backed currency... then banks could not play these shenanigans with printing money because the inflation of the currency would be immediate and transparent.

    Calculus is irrelevant?

    You obviously have no concept of any actual mathematics. (Learning to do calculus is different from learning about calculus). Computer Science is heavily Dependant upon mathematics...

    There was a big shortage in nursing about a decade ago. My wife was able to walk into an interview about 15 minutes after filling out the application and hired on the spot with a retention bonus after 1 year.

    Now? If you don't have experience you are fighting with about 100 applicants per open position. Student nurses can't even find jobs as exturns.

    Dude.... You should get into a meduczl field... Become an RN, RPh, PA, or MD(if you want to do that amount of work). 18% of GDP. You can then transition into H.I.T. as a technically literate clinitian which is like gold.

  15. Re:Done on Invent the Medical Tricorder, Win $10,000,000 · · Score: 1

    I think they want something that can do scanning of vitals and make the diagnosis based on the information gathered, not "manually enter a list of data and see what I have to say".

    A system that scans means you do not have to be a trained clinician to capture vitals (perhaps even signs that are not part of today's standard instrumentation) and diagnose.

    But it is proof of the existence of an un-seen all powerful being who cares enough about our individual ant like lives to bestow special dispensations upon us just for asking... and he tests our faith in him by repeatedly ignoring our righteous worship and punishing us with natural disasters.

    The scientists said so... it is called the God Particle after all.

    The back end is AIX because most hospitals are running mainframes from the 70's and 80's and many run virtual server farms, etc so the AIX Iron is pretty much a necessity.

    They have tons of Windows Servers in those farms though.

    you are right... quality IT are customer focused and work to solve your problem of build your requested feature if you bring us the money.

    My mantra is "Sure, No Problem" even if I have never done it before because I know I can get it done.

    Who fucking built it? Who fucking supports it? who is fucking responsible for the security of it? who the fuck gets in trouble if there is a security breach?

    IT.... thus we are God on the network... hence we are always right.

    even better way to get something done... go to the IT department, say, I want a project to build X feature for my Doctors. How much will it cost?

    IT returns with the best quote, you take that to your budget committee and ask for the funds... they give you the funds, you go back to IT and say, Here is the money... I need it by the end of the fiscal year so I don't loose the money...

    IT project manager talks to you and starts spending your money... a few months later you have feature X.

    seriously.... if you have the budget and worked with IT while securing the funds for the project so it gets on their calendar...the project will be on the front burner.

    hmm... I dunno... "Mrs. Rebecca Smith's Posterior right upper quadrant XRay to look for evidence of : 2PM" being sent through the internet via the IT departments network seems like it could happen in such a situation. If IT does not know about it... especially in Healthcare where we are highly trained and smart, then we have a huge problem.

    Is encryption used? who has rights to build the schedule, is there data validation being used to block certain information that looks like PHI? Who is handling Security patching to prevent this server from infecting the rest of the network? Who deals with the support calls when the physician can't open his calendar? (IT actually tried to help because we like to provide a good customer experience in health care).... I am sure If I thought about it more I could provide you with 50 more reasons it is stupid to expect this rouge server to be allowed in a health care situation.
