Ebola in Texas.

Ebola, electronic medical records, and Epic Systems

A Dallas hospital’s bizarre bungle of the first U.S. case of Ebola leaves me wondering: Is someone covering up for a crony billionaire Obama donor and her controversy-plagued, taxpayer-subsidized electronic medical records company?

This was the screw up in Dallas. EMR systems show specific information to people who need to see it. In Dallas the information did not get shared with everyone who needed the information. I was in a meeting yesterday at one of our hospitals and this was brought up with how to fix it. It has nothing to do with Obamacare, EMR's have been in use for years, they are now required under Obamacare (they used to be optional). The big problem with EMR's is lack of actually communicating, just like Facebook, Twitter have done to masses around the world, EMR's have done the same thing in hospitals. People still need to communicate i.e. talk to each other. This is a people problem not a technology problem.
