A Dallas hospital's bizarre bungle of the first U.S. case of Ebola leaves me wondering: Is someone covering up for a crony billionaire Obama donor and her controversy-plagued, taxpayer-subsidized electronic medical records company?
Last week, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital revealed in a statement that a procedural flaw in its online health records system led to potentially deadly miscommunication between nurses and doctors. The facility sent Ebola victim Thomas Duncan home despite showing signs of the disease -- only to admit him with worse symptoms three days later.
Hospital officials, who came forward "in the interest of transparency," initially cited workflow and information-sharing problems for the botch. ...
Mysteriously, after taking special care to get their facts straight before releasing the statement, the hospital backed off a day later. The very specific communications flaw in the medical records software -- which apparently had prevented some staff from accessing Duncan's travel history from Liberia -- suddenly disappeared.
What really happened?
Here's what I can tell you for sure: Texas Health contracts with Epic Systems for its electronic medical records system -- and the Dallas hospital isn't the only client that has complained about its costly information-sharing flaws and interoperability failures.
Epic was founded by billionaire Judy Faulkner, a top Obama donor whose company is the dominant EMR player in the U.S. health care market.

That’s Obama’s type all right...no wonder heshe got the contract. Maybe it’s a Muslim and a communist also for a trifecta of zero’s favorites.
That’s a female.. I know the let-it-all-hang-out women geek types. And this rich one probably attracts a lot of even ickier women, and that’s how she got the contract.
Yet another fine mess Obama-dont-care has gotten us into.
My dog’s behind looks better than That!
EEEEWWW

If this were a Republican President this scandal would be viewed as important.
Adam’s apple
Yeah. She had 350k job with Childrens Memorial in Chicago, and her position was SO vital that when she left, they never filled it....
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“...there will be HELL to pay.”
One would think, but no. A former Freeper had a good thing on Twitter the other day, something like:
“Modern-day journalism covers a story with a pillow. Until it is dead.”
She was noted for dumping nonpaying customers onto other hospitals
Wonder if the VA uses the company’s stuff.
Is this a man or woman?

Faulkner: XX (but I needed to check)
Besides FR, I tend to hang out on tech forums. Chick posts to tech forums are sufficiently rare, that one is motivated to google the posters. It's distressing how many turn out to be trannies or similar freaks.
