This is whats concerning to me…
ANNUAL TOTAL BURDEN HOURS: 79,229,503
FRAUDLENT CLAIMS IN 2011: 130,959
So hours wasted on Obama care and increasing fraudulent claims from the jobless and broke.
How many arms are going to be lost in the increasing costs of Obamacare, I wonder?
“Despite the fact that most physicians call the patient the most important member of the care team, in reality, the “patient” as architected into most healthIT has been little more than a vessel for billing codes.”
It looks like maximization against the reimbursement formula has struck again.
I’ve heard several opposing views on the topic of HIT. It seems some believe HIT is only bringing down our current health care system by preserving an already broken system, while others believe that it’s improving it mainly with a facilitated access to records, from both the physician and patient standpoint.
It is my personal belief that information techonology can never hurt a business, especially in our current era where almost everything is electronically managed, for the most part. However, there is always that possibility of something going wrong. If our current system doesn’t keep up with technological advances, then it can affect not only physicians’ efficiency, but also patients’ access to care.
They bemoan the expense yet it looks like the EHR might increase it. Reminds me of someone’s post where they said their father hated the idea of Medicare, yet afterwards his revenue went up.
80 million?
How could someone justify cutting their OWN arm off? I dont think I could put a value on my own health and well being!

I’m not sure about arms Mr. Potter, but I’ll definitely lose my mind under the ACA.

Pretty scary what people would do for money!

That article about the arm is just… wow.
I don’t think you could convince me to lose an arm for that cheap…
