OCinBuffalo Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Not if Medicare tells them to. Yahtzee! I have a better one: wait until the "abortionists", or whatever they are called, and their patients find out that their good buddy Obama thinks "fixing heath care" = making sure that every health care provider in the country needs to share every piece of data about them, including if they had an abortion and how many. I'm sure that is going to go over great if you are an "abortionist-supporter"(whatever, this is ridiculous term) that gets treated in a clinic in West Texas or in the middle of Alabama. The funny part is that: 1. none of it fixes a damn thing(nurses and docs don't use computers because they hate the software, not because they are missing the data) 2. all of it costs too much with no real ROI. There are much better solutions that achieve the intended results 3. it will end up pissing off Obama's own people, and they will have no one to blame but themselves 4. this is a pandora's box once opened there are 1000's of hair-splitting scenarios and you can't write a law for each, although I am sure the idiots will try = look at HL7 after all The real reason they want it of course is so they government can exert further "control over standards and costs"(read: clueless PhD, government worker/grant types trying to do my job), but without the knowledge or the experience to do either.
