Re: [Hardhats-members] Memorial service for Fil Beza
It was a lovely service and a number of Fil's former employees were in attendance, Sally Najera, Rosila Milward, and Steven Hill. They all worked for Fil when he was the IRM director at Martinez for the VA. Fil had been a supporter of WorldVistA and the whole of the VistA community. Fil authored some of the instructions that went into the 2.51 release of the Open VistA release, and his name will remain a part of the Open VistA model. With any luck, we will carry forward his dreams into the future. Best wishes; Chris Richardson - Original Message - From: George Timson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Hardhats hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2005 8:12 AM Subject: [Hardhats-members] Memorial service for Fil Beza Some of us Hardhats (including Wally Fort, Chris Richardson, Greg Woodhouse, and myself) were out east of San Francisco yesterday for Fil Beza's memorial service and follow-on dinner. The service was a Mass, and many of us learned for the first time that Fil as a young man in the Philippines had originally had a vocation to be a priest. I for one was not at all surprised to hear this, although I am afraid that Fil would have turned out to be a pretty cynical priest. Can you imagine his sotto-voce commentaries, in later life, on a Dan Bishop who was really a Bishop?! ;-) Anyway, the total VA contingent at the ceremony numbered about 20, out of maybe a total of 70 family and friends. I made a point of telling Fil's widow at the reception that there were hundreds of people around the country, whom she'll never meet, that were grieving with her this last month.

Re: [Hardhats-members] Need help programmatically signing a progress note
Joseph, We have several doctors that are near retirement. They have not had to interact with a computer, and they don't plan to start. We currently are a paper chart based office. My VistA is primarily a place to archive progress notes -- though I hope to make a neat program available to others that might want to take advantage of options. For example, I am hoping to save about $12,000 a year in transcription by using voice recognition directly into CPRS. Currently, after the transcriptionist types up the text, it is printed and presented to the doctor either as a batch for review, or it is put onto the chart for review then or later. I think that the best option will be for the doctor's nurse to batch sign and print the notes. If some want to use CPRS the way it is designed, then they will have that options.

RE: [Hardhats-members] Need help programmatically signing a progress note
I will answer this as a physician general response. Hospital notes are different. All are require signature. Reading (and signing) a clinic note almost doubles the work. Depositions and court testimony I have seen seem to have no bearing on whether or not the note is signed - even when there are typo's or other errors. We had a case go to trial using a pre-FileMan EMR with signed hand-written notes (physician preferred writing to dictating), and the printed computerized (unsigned) notes became the evidence in the trial. I don't think anyone ever read the handwritten notes. Today I type my notes and find them loaded with typo's and errors. I don't initial them, though I occasionally think I we need to start initialing the note. I have been dictating notes for over 30 years and typing my own notes for the past 2 years, using computer in practice since 1970 and used computerized medical records since 1985. As a strong advocate of EMR I still appreciate the challenge of getting notes signed off. I understand an Agency of the Federal Government adopting such standards. However, for private practice, it sure would be nice to be able to turn it off. Thanks, thuran P.S.: How many of you notice MSWord likes to convert EHR to HER?

RE: [Hardhats-members] House VA Committee is recommending a $400 million cut
As I read the article, the cut in funds is a rebuke for the problems at Bay Pines. Rather than fix the problems of outsourcing and management, the response is to reduce the budget. "You keep getting sick, so we're going to stop providing these immunizations," or logic of that sort. I once saw a cartoon of a man stopped by the side of the road, throwing dollar bills at a flat tire. The caption was, "liberal throwing money at a problem." I suppose one could consider this a conservative counter-flinch to that liberal reflex.

[Hardhats-members] Teamspeak and Networks and AMIA and reporters
The word must have gotten out to the NEMUG members as I just had a conversation with Liz who works for Partners. She raises parakeets, so I will have to introduce her to Tom Ackerman so she can learn how to train them. ;-) Parakeets transmit very well over TeamSpeak. I think Liz will be joining us at the WorldVistA meeting. I was pleased to hear that Partners knows that MUMPS isn't a dead language I also spoke with John Mitchell in California. He said he was trying to join the ranks of the retired but hasn't succeeded yet. He will remotely join the meeting about reviving the MDC on Saturday. Bob Witkop connected me up with John Paladino from Intersystems in Cambridge/Boston. I spoke with him via telephone today. We will have a very nice network setup at Intersystems so that I think we should be able to do some audio and maybe even a webcam with more than just the MDC session. I will have to do some experimenting with using a microphone that can serve a room connected up to TeamSpeak. I will take my video camera off of raccoon surveillance duty and bring it to Boston. Thanks to Ignacio's prodding, I think we have gotten enough people for a panel for the AMIA meeting Open Source session. Now we have to get a proposal together that will make it through the selection process. Bhaskar has made a nice start on it. Ignacio also needs some more reporter volunteers for Linux Med News. He seems willing to have reporters who will report on the sessions they want to go to rather than having someone cover the whole meeting, so there will be lots of opportunities for people to help out a great cause without committing to the covering everything like a real reporter. -- Nancy Anthracite --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

What I should have said is that list manager is launched with the name of a screenman routine/launch point/etc. Thus a Screenman page is launched. Sorry.

Re: [Hardhats-members] House VA Committee is recommending a $400 million cut
So, not only is the VA's effort to replace their own, WORKING, home-grown software with COTS (Commercial, Off The Shelf, software), not working, it's going to cost them. . . The VA is not in the software business. (VHA IT's mantra a few years back.)
