Where is that "bad boy" EMR list of vendors that refuse "interoperability"..:) http://t.co/nregVYB9Ka

I’ve always liked the idea of a bad boy EMR list. I’ve called it a meaningful EHR certification before. Or an EMR naughty and nice list. It’s a hard thing to do well…especially if you want to make a business of it.

I’ve posted a number of images lie this before. It’s always interesting to see what they say. This one actually looks like it’s trying to help them meet their MU patient engagement requirements as much as it’s trying to explain the EHR implementation delay. I’ve seen quite a few of these signs in hospitals I’ve visited. Getting patients signed up on the portal is a challenging thing for hospitals.

I need to dig into the direct primary care model a lot more, but it’s one of the really interesting alternative care models that’s worth watching.
The MedicalQuack post is so poorly written as to be almost incomprehensible. Anyone with a grasp of messaging, content, and data standards for EHR should understand the importance of punctuation and sentence structure to human readability. This is a matter of usability, not just aesthetics.
Lynn,
You’re right. I should have warned people to just read the tweet and not the post.
Actually it occurs to me that perhaps the author was trying to demonstrate what happens when syntactical standards are lacking! Maybe it is satire! I’m not necessarily a Grammar Nanny.
