Kevin, I appreciate the response and the information. As I said in my original post, the references to the L seemed to have a negative quality. I'm glad to read that that's not the case. I certainly don't have any objection to having multiple resources for Meditech-related issues. I did check out the site extensively as I was trying to figure out the origin and I agree, it's loaded with "goodies" and is very well-designed. Julia Julia F.

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.

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.
