Some thoughts about the future of health care IT
,----[ Quote ]
| Beware Stimulating the Perversity of the Health Care system. Their are huge
| perverse incentives are “baked in” to our Disease Industrial Complex. The
| commodity of this industry is disease, not health. Regardless of the good
| intentions and expectations of individuals, the system forces them into
| less-than-virtuous behavior. The current stimulus effort runs the risk of
| unintended consequences of stimulating the perversity of our system rather
| than the virtues we seek. For example, it would appear that the greatest
| financial value derived from a universally available health record would be
| increased malpractice suits, because they would be able to program scanners
| that could automatically scan historical records with 20/20 hindsight and
| find some instance of an activity that in retrospect was the wrong path to
| take. This in turn will lead to an even greater emphasis on defense medical
| practices.

| In reality there is a component of HIMSS that is FOSS-friendly and FOSS runs
| as an under current at every HIMSS conference that I have attended. It can be
| hard to find but it is there.

| Two less people die every day at Midland b/c of the systems in place to
| handle central-line infections inside OpenVistA. Wow. That means that
| Medsphere clients are starting to get VA-like improved outcomes. All at a
| fraction of the cost of the proprietary alternatives
