Few outside the medical community understand the structure our doctors/technicians are subjected to. The concept your medical files/records/tests/digital images could be stored in numerous locations and these systems might not communicate with each other "On-line" adds an administrative task too the process.<BR/><BR/>As with law firms our professional people, which we need in our daily life, is facing the daunting challenge of bringing a totally out dated system into the modern age. However unlike the competitive advantage other industries have, vendors see these two markets as a the un-tapped cash cow. Or simply put, an area to raise margins or profits at their expense.<BR/><BR/>Current topic with regards too is health care is Personal Medical Files. Whether a disc or smart card or USB stick. Right now, facilities request atleast a 30 day turn-around. If this subject gets more main-stream the burden placed on the system, as is, will be overwhelming. Painful as it seems the need to upgrade our capabilities is upon us. Doctors are doctors, not technical IT or Business Process Managers (BPMs) they need support, not only finding feasible solutions (Cost) but more vendors that tailor or understand their needs.John Feeney (Bluegil)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12061721391854958571noreply@blogger.com
