Trump is now not honoring those gentlemen's agreements. Trump is no gentleman.
This is just scratching the surface. The level of error in government software would never be allowed at the P&C Insurance Companies I worked at.
are these the same guys that wrote the Obamacare software?
The EHR will prove to have been a catastrophic error.
Repeal every word of The Unaffordable Care Act.
I notice they named whistleblowers here.
And electronic records are a pain in the neck for providers to fill out.
This will get you killed...
On thing that has injured or killed more than a few patients is sending the medical reports to India to be transcribed.
We’ve found that the common cause is a tsunami of money granted by the Obama administration. Contractors received $150-500 million for each web site that really needed only $10-20 million to develop. With all the money available to them, spending the money became the objective. Thousands of programmers were hired, most of whom apparently were completely incompetent. As each web site disaster unfolded, corruption and fraud to the point of criminality took over.

I’m so sick of fraud at all levels of society.
it starts with good-ole-boy networks, such as fraternities, sororities and the like. seems like a good place to start.
So what ? Did any of the criminal frauds go to prison ?
michelle obama must have a friend making money in this crimes just like the obamacare website.
software glitches that prevent doctors from accessing files quickly, that mix up patients or send vital test results to the wrong file
"Mistakes" buried in layers of bureaucratic SNAFUs means that nobody is responsible or accountable for anything.
Where's the reset button? The best I can do on my end is hope that I don't get sick or injure myself. :(
Not for my doctor!
They are inefficient and just plain garbage!!!!!
Clicking on the wrong thing on a computer program is much more common then “poor handwriting” mistakes.
I think one of the great threats to our health care system, is that hospitals employee’s are not being trained to use a fall back paper system.
In 2012, a derecho hit our area and one local hospital had to close down because they didn’t have enough generator capacity to run their computers!
In 2016, Med-star Georgetown Hospital in DC ERMs were hacked and held for ransom. It was a mess. They didn’t train their personnel to use a paper fall back. Newbie docs were clueless when it came to writing out prescriptions!!!
We are way to dependent on something that is so fragile.

Just another “successful” government run program.
A gentle reminder - what the vast majority of people think of as THEIR medical records, are in fact, NOT theirs. They are the doctor’s medical records about you.
Another long-term issue is the default question, “Do you have guns in the house?” This can create a database of all gun owners if it hasn’t already been compiled.
Just ask the medical billers & coders; they’ve been screaming for years now that EHR is another way for fraud to creep in.
It’s also another way to offshore jobs, risk patient identity theft and skirt USA HIPAA laws. You mean to tell me that every physician who works for a hospital that does their billing & coding is going to fly over to whatever country is handling their business to make sure this information is safe?! I have a bridge to sell you in Phoenix.
Don’t get me STARTED on this subject!! UGH!!!

As a former DOD Employer I can assure you that EVERY freaking software solution was immediately identified by us (the user) as having flaws. When asked to comment on the issues we would issue pages of comments and suggestions. Upper management chose to believe the vendor who would basically blow off the issues with statements like “This will be addressed in a week or so after the software implementation date.” Then it was ignored or not fixed right.
Result was employees having to run both the old and the new software (which of course did not communicate with each other) and created more workload.
Saw it dozens of times.
