I am getting mixed signals from what Tom is saying. I am not sure if he is suggesting that Health IT (as in EHR/EMR, DSS, CPOE, etc.) should go through the same rigorous government controlled testing that drugs and biomedical equipment go through? Or, if he is saying that "an" implementation proves usefulness? I think that there is a good case for the former. Sure it would increase costs, but at least they would work as advertised. :-) --Tim -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
