Hi Julia- Let me start off by saying I by no mean intend to show any "negative campaigning" on the L. I have been involved with MEDITECH for greater than 15 years and I'm now an "independent consultant" working around the country mainly on the Advanced Clinicals. I am a site admin and co-founder, but not the creator - that would be Kevin Boldt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). MeditechTalk.com does have links to both of us for anyone that wants to contact us directly. As for your mention to my site RPhInformatics.com, that is a totally separate "project" for me. My intention is to have a network for Pharmacist regardless of the HCIS they use. Cerner, Eclypsis, MEDITECH - there is a common thread and workflow that is inherant to all. My passion is clinical consulting, as is Kevin Boldt's. We have both been users and members of the L for years and have been talking about this new web site for some time. There is no charge for the site - the intention is to provide an alternate...and quite honestly I believe it's an excellent alternative. Kevin has done an amazing job providing the members and visitors to MeditechTalk.com and "bulletin board" type of threaded postings, chat rooms, industry news and more. When you visit MeditechTalk.com, it is very apparent that Kevin has excellent skills as a website creator. As with me, Kevin is a full-time clinical consultant and Nurse working around the country. You will never see any negative campaiging on our site - that I guarauntee. If you look back through the L posting you'll see that I have been very active in both looking for help and providing help in the form of answers/comments and actual NPR frags. Yesterday I posted a response to a question about eMAR and didn't mention MeditechTalk.com so I know I'm not giving the impression that I am "using the L" to get out some underlying message. Again, this is our passion. I am hoping to see you that too will see the value of a site like MeditechTalk.com and that you make frequent visits to the site as well. Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD. Clinical Consultant (713)480-6810 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.RPhInformatics.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julia Carter Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 10:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Off-Topic: Meditech Talk? All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== I just saw the reference to www.MeditechTalk.com in another message, so naturally I checked it out. First, let me make it clear that I'm not affiliated in any way with either the Meditech-L list or the MeditechTalk web site, so what I have to say is my opinion and mine alone. I'm also not sending this to the L to start anything or cause trouble, but the L is our primary tool for communication and I wanted to share my observations with all of you. The Meditech-L references on MeditechTalk struck me as negative and unnecessary. I quote: "If you were tired of receiving HUNDREDS of emails every day from a certain List, then this site is for YOU! Instead of searching THOUSANDS of DISCONNECTED emails and messages, you can search through a neatly organized website!" In a survey on the Home page, the first two answers to the question "Why will you join the Meditech Talk community?" are "Cannot find anything on the L-List" and "My In Box is too full of L-List messages". I couldn't find any responsible parties' names on the web site, so I don't know who has created it but it might be a good idea. I don't like the impression of competition between a web site and a list, though. I don't like the impression of 'negative campaigning' that these comments give. Huh. I've still been poking around on the web site and I do see that the site admin has a web site listed: Website: http://www.RPhInformatics.com. And . . . the original reference to MeditechTalk came from [EMAIL PROTECTED] So I guess RPHInformatics is the creator/owner/operator of MeditechTalk. And . . . RPHInformatics.com is still "under construction". Curiouser and curiouser. . . Julia Julia F.
