Nancy Pelosi said, "But we have to pass the [health care ] bill so that you can find out what is in it."
EPIC Systems ??
Layoffs were announced in Mississippi at the University of Mississippi Medical Center due in part to the 80 million dollars that it will cost to implement a new computer system named EPIC Systems, Obama’s newly mandated electronic medical records system.
EPIC Systems, owned and operated by Judith Faulkner, is one of obama's big donors. Obama also put Faulkner in a key role on the Health Information Technology Policy Committee, the committee responsible for implementing the President’s e-records policy. She has become known as Obama’s medical records czar and this puts her in charge of deciding which company would be used for Obama’s official electronic medical records system.
One of the many problems of EPIC System.
One of the things about the system is the system requires a pathologist to fill in a field of information on what a patient is allergic to in every case the docs deal with. If they do not fill in this field the system will “ding” the doctor on his reimbursement funds. That may not seem so absurd, but the pathologist has to fill out these same fields even if he is just consulting on a case by looking at a slide in a microscope and won’t actually see the patient in person.
The best of the worse.
It gets worse, the system is so dysfunctional that it requires the same fields to be filled out for a corpse at an autopsy.
“This is no lie,” Price says. The federal government wants the pathologist to determine whether or not a corpse has any allergies. …This is nonsense horsepucky! Maybe not ! This is understandable because a corpse would not remember what it is allergic to.
Lastly, it should be noted....... that the full implementation of Obamacare is still several years away.
