RE: Transiion Paper

[David Frenkel]

Peter, Have you tested the political waters in Washington with your conclusions?  There seems to be bigger distractions in Congress in regards to Medicare drug benefits and diminishing Medicare reimbursements.  On top of all this next year is a presidential election.  It is already well known that most hospitals in the US are already having financial problems and there appears to be little effort to alleviate this regardless of the HIPAA issues.   Regards,   David Frenkel Business Development GEFEG USA Global Leader in Ecommerce Tools www.gefeg.com 612-237-1966 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 12:44 PM To: WEDI SNIP Transactions Workgroup List Subject: Transiion Paper   Attached is an updated copy of the Transition paper I presented at the WEDI conference last week.  This builds on WEDI positions, but it does not in any way represent anyone's opinion by my own, errors and all.  If it is useful to you, you may freely distribute it.  Besides its recommendations, it may offer helpful description of the transition problem and business strategies to deal with it.  It also addresses the contest between technical perfection and general conduct of business, the latter prevailing to my thinking.
