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.

Actually VISTA gets the highest ratings from users, but yes, EPIC and CERNER are the big dogs in the space, and this article is utter crap.... but the ignorant masses will bite on it, and the ignoramouses will create self feeding loops of validation of their foolish beliefs woafully uninformed of reality.
This article needs to step up 20 yards to even reach gutter trash level. The author is completely ignorant on the topic they are writing.
Thanks for the ping.
Is that the Chicago Hospital M. Obama was connected with??
Her job at the hospital was so vital and her expertise so unique that when she became First Lady, the hospital eliminated the position, if I'm not mistaken.
My mistake. It was the University of Chicago Hospital, not Children’s Memorial.
He said “Wookie in the window”! Lol!
Obamacare fails us again.
And the republican party is neck deep and joined at the hip right along with them!
