This is why I love Apple

I work at Best Buy and I hook people up all the time but the rest of the employees screw people over all the time. That doesn't mean Best Buy is a good just because me it just means that I'm nice.

My phone is insured.

I might be wrong but I don't think you can insure a verizon iphone.

I have a Verizon iPhone and had it insured up until I shattered my screen. I sent it I to the company. They made me pay a 200 dollar deductible and then sent me a refurbished phone. Bullshit
 
Hey what EMR do u guys use?

Probably this one:

I love it when they print everything off, hand annotate it and then put it in the paper chart.
 
Lol we recently switched from GE's centricity to EPIC.

I remember back in the day... EPIC was practically a cult. They had an antiquated platform (MUMPS) and GE had just moved to the Oracle.

But that chick who runs EPIC was dynamite. She did a great job qualifying her customers and she did fantastic implementations. Long-term, she proved that a mediocre technology that's properly implemented will win over the latest-and-greatest shiny stuff.

It probably doesn't hurt that she's right there in Wisconsin with you.

And you were most likely using the old MedicaLogic system. Either that or IDX if you are hospital-based.

I don't think GE has rolled their IDX acquisition under the Centricity brand yet, have they?
 
In the hosp it was Icare and clinic was centricity.

Centricity is whatever came after logician.

Right. We actually rolled a bunch of products under that brand name.

Originally (before me) they bought a system that was used in one (yes, one) hospital in the entire world. It was basically a custom-written installation that GE mistakenly though was a salable product.

Then after that, we acquired a string of companies. MeciaLogic (Logician) was a great buy -- that was during my time there. We also bought Millbrook Medical Management (TX-based company) which was another good buy. We rolled the RIS and PACS system (which was a train wreck) into the Centricity brand as well as an operating room information system.

So truth be told, Centricity was a "dog's breakfast" of best-of-breed systems. I don't know how integrated they are now, but the upstream product manager (friend of mine) is one of the brightest, most pragmatic people I've every known.

We whatever version we had was pretty dated. Wouldn't talk to icare, had to sign copies of notes once they got into centricity that I had already signed in icare. Bad templates. Ours was an EMR but not doing much to speed up efficiency.

double entry (bad/missing interfaces) + bad templates = death for an EMR

I'm personally skeptical of how we are doing EMR implementation anyway. Hospitals and Dr's offices are sucking them up right and left, but they all have radically different data models.

I should be able to hand my NextGen-based doctor's office a USB drive on my keyring and offload my personal medical record. Then, if I present in an ER 1,000 miles away, I should be able to hand them my drive and them upload me into Cerner, McKesson, IDX, etc. etc. Then when the episode is over, I should be able to update my drive and take it back to my Dr.'s office to upload the updated information.

The right answer would be to harmonize at least some aspects of the data models used and *then* push for mass adoption across hospitals and dr's offices. EMR's clearly have local benefits as well, but we're really missing big picture if we don't focus on portability from the start.

If Steve Jobs had got into EMR technology, these features would be ancient history by now.

Microsoft and GE tried to cut a deal around 2003 but Scott McNealy (CEO of Sun Microsystems & GE board member) cut it off at the knees.

Yeah, they tried to sell me that insurance for our iphones too. I asked them all what it covered and what the deduct. was and then laughed and told them no way.


Should've taken it to apple and got a new one for free, sucker.

I did take it to Apple, first thing I did actually. They told me it would cost them 175.00 to fix it. I figured I would pony up the quarter and get a new phone. I didn't know it would be refurbished until I got it in the mail. Their customer service is obsolete. They rank an 'F' on BBB.
 
Guess I lucked out. I had my iphone4 for 18 days before I lost it. My insurance was asurion. I paid 160 dollar deductible and got a new phone the day after my claim was processed and it wasn't refurbished.
 
We're starting EPIC in a couple weeks actually.

Holy coincidence batman! Where are you located (roughly, if you don't want to specify an exact location)?

And talk about wierd... I ran across GE's sales manager last night at dinner. I asked him about Johns Hopkins (it was a flagship account for us) and he said they were switching to EPIC as well.
 
this poor girl was begging for food
I took her into the grocery store and got her food and gave her some operating cash
her teeth were rough
 
The inpatient side of epic is solid. Especially in the unit.

It sure sounds like it. I haven't kept up with the industry closely since 2004. I did hear that GE won the operating room information systems contract across all the VA hospitals. But I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. The VA system can be a bear to work with.

Maybe you shouldn't have acted like a dick to them and you'd have got a free one. :)

The hospital I work at is in Oregon OH.
 
More or less for folks who are on the go and need to have cpu capability at the palm of their hand. Hence why tablets were created.

Ipads are killer though compared to its competition.

I like apple stuff, love my macair/touch, just get more ability from google phones than the I4 ... my friends I4S is super sweet though.... SIRI "what do I do if I have no money for drugs?" Answer: "neal and open your mouth". Its pretty dope though honestly.

I'm pretty sure you don't need a smart phone to contact your drug dealer?
 
I find electronic interaction far less satisfying than true face to face
yeah yeah well spart you're sure workin' the lectronic angle in these parts lately
and I don't have a horse and carriage either
though that would be cool
 
some, well most of those teen gals in that history channel special, might have been nat geo, on the amish were quite attractive
not tats and glitter
just girls that wanted a boy
 
let me ask you this?
do you believe you could have figured out all the nuances of eating pussy
based on one pussy?
 
My wife dropped her iPhone and shattered the screen. Made an appointment at the genius bar for today. Showed up and the guy took a look at it and told me that since it was physical damage it wasn't covered and cost like $150 to replace the screen. I already figured that and just wanted it fixed so I told him it wasn't a big deal as I understood it was our fault. He tells me he will brb, and comes out with a brand new iPhone and gives it to us free of charge.


Fuck yeah!
Wtfffffffffffffffffffffff

I went and had mine looked at on Saturday and have to make an appt with them and they are charging me 150.00 for it.
Would be sweet if they handed me a new phone!!
