| The important thing to note here is what did NOT matter. The AcerMed people
| seemed decent enough: did not matter. AcerMed was CCHIT certified: did not
| matter. AcerMed was recommended in the industry press and by industry
| experts: did not matter. Companies get sued, people get sick. When will the
| medical community wake up to the fact that proprietary medical software is
| incompatible with medicine, incompatible with free thought and dangerous to
| patient data?

A Tale of Modern Electronic Medical Record Software
,----[ Quote ]
| One day a Mr. FOSS came to town. Mr. FOSS said: “Why don’t we have all these
| companies use the same lighthouse design? Why don’t we have all the ship
| owners and the community own the design instead of all these companies
| re-inventing the same thing over and over?” So Mr. FOSS went to the town
| council and to all the ship owners and to consortia of passengers and showed
| them how to draw up a special contract.

Is Your Big Company, CCHIT, Proprietary EMR Safe?

| Think your CCHIT certified, proprietary EMR from a 'big' corporation is a

| As unlikely and alarmist as this sounds, it could really happen. Intracare
| is the publisher of a popular practice management system called Dr. Notes.
| When some doctors balked at a drastic increase in their annual software
| lease, they were cut off from accessing their own patients? information.
|
| This situation is completely unconscionable. There can be no truly
| open doctor-patient relationship when an unrelated third party is the
| de facto owner of and gatekeeper to all related data.
