Again.... they are different toolkits so they should not be expected to work the same. Microsoft choosing an easy way out for.net is a valid complaint, but calling it a quirk is a little to far.
You do realize that QT and winforms are completely different toolkits right? it should be expected that they implement functionality in different ways.
HL7 1.0 was pretty weak, but it was created in the 80's. HL7 2.0 has many features that make it acceptable for interoperability at the system communication level. Also, in a market that is just now emerging, you expect all the interfaces to be written for it or for the older interfaces to be capable to meet the needs of new systems that do a lot more than the older ones?
Standards are great for stuff that has already been figured out and suck ass for things that are new and evolving.
Our hospital is looking at the cost issue closely. I think we are close to deciding to allow our partnering physicians to pay a huge discount for an EMR system that we are developing and can be used for all their patients. I think that a relationship like this is where the industry will go because hospitals have the volume to justify the costs of setting up the system, and offering a low buying to the system and free setup will engender loyalty from the doctors.
It sounds like your Iike your hospital does not hold to the meme "do not use one supplier for the whole system".
Our department does not want to be "locked in" to a single vendor. This is admirable, but it increases the amount of work and costs to build and maintain the system.
I dunno... no lock in also means more flexibility so there is probably a large benefit in that.

I don't know how it works in other hospitals but the hospital I work for, the doctors go to the liaison with a need, the liaison talks to the right people in the IT department and a group is formed to meet the need of the doctors. The only decision making the doctor gets is in the area of "does this meet my needs". The docs have little say in what we do to support the solutions that meet their needs and according to Gallup, we are in the 99th percentile for physician satisfaction.
The developed world is not the problem and China is keeping families to one child to reduce their numbers. As long as we hord our food, the developing world will self correct.
If the app is made to work with the systems, then they will work.
Besides...most corporations use 3rd party management tools that hook into the MS ecosystem because the 3rd parties wrap more abilities up making for a better tool.
I almost had that happen to me. I'm moving out of my first position... it was low rung but a small group and the lead of the group kept inserting us in all these different areas so my low rung job turned into a highly skilled job in a year and a half. My lead was busy managing and my co-worker was a moron so when I applied for a promotion to another group I found out that my Director relied on me for 75% of the groups knowledge..... BAAAAAAADDDDD place to be.
My lead advocated for letting me move on and I got loose, but now I am stuck waiting for them to find a replacement. You would think there would be plenty of experienced people looking for a job but what we get are embellished experience and poor performance during interviews.
Get yourself into a tech contracting company. You will have better benefits and better options because if you are willing to relocate, opportunities in the company are more available than if you work at a company that in sources their IT.

exposure to sun light by coming out of the c/c++ cave?
quirks like what?

true, but we are talking about interoperability not content creation.
Yes, HL7 is exactly what solves this. Most people in health care aren't even aware of HL7 (as seen in the comments further up the page)

There is a reason that Health Level 7 standards exist and that every piece of technology in a hospital uses those standards.

reprocess the waste to produce energy and you are good to go.

Its a bad place to be in my case because I didn't want to continue working in that area of IT.

It is hard to get in the door even with the BS especially with software development.

no... I said it in 1955!
Taking precautions is one thing... being in fear of a lighting strike is another.
yeah... I know... Im just pissed that I didn't think to make a stupid app that goes like this:
if(accelerometor=1){
play fart.mp3;
}
I mean... a retard could make that program and this guy gets rich off it.
Many weekends were wasted playing Super Mario on NES. Never cared much for Donkey Kong.
30 years in the future.
How is it a reasonable fear if it is a low probability?
decent products like the millionair maker that is iFart?
plumber... 1990's... old days? Dude....what are you 12?
