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?
Last week, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital revealed in a statement that a procedural flaw in its online health records system led to potentially deadly miscommunication between nurses and doctors. The facility sent Ebola victim Thomas Duncan home despite showing signs of the disease -- only to admit him with worse symptoms three days later.
Hospital officials, who came forward "in the interest of transparency," initially cited workflow and information-sharing problems for the botch. ...
Mysteriously, after taking special care to get their facts straight before releasing the statement, the hospital backed off a day later. The very specific communications flaw in the medical records software -- which apparently had prevented some staff from accessing Duncan's travel history from Liberia -- suddenly disappeared.
What really happened?
Here's what I can tell you for sure: Texas Health contracts with Epic Systems for its electronic medical records system -- and the Dallas hospital isn't the only client that has complained about its costly information-sharing flaws and interoperability failures.
Epic was founded by billionaire Judy Faulkner, a top Obama donor whose company is the dominant EMR player in the U.S. health care market.

REALLY? REALLY? WHO IS GOING TO PAY? Certainly not the disgrace from Kenya or any of the freaks in D.C. or their crony crooks. We, the taxpaying sheep are going to pay like we have been paying. Paying with blood, sweat and tears. Like Major Garrett, bammy’s boyfriend said today, “we are screwed.”
Never have we seen such an oligarchy of evil and corruption as we’re seeing with the current democrat party.
Bingo!
Criminals all. Typical degenerate LIBs/DIMs.
What happened was, in the admissions process, they asked Duncan if he’d been to AFRICA. He replied he came from LIBERIA, which all the nurses thought was some other place.
The electronic health records software this cronyist sold them asks not what country, but what continent. This is from Ann Barnhardt, via a nurse who works across the street at a hospital that MOST of the doctors abandoned Presby for due to severely screwed-up Zerocare implementations.
Well I heard from a reputable guest on a talk radio show recently declare the manufacturers who have the cure/vaccine/remedy for ebola will not release it untill the market is “ripe”. More deaths = more money for the pharmaceutical companies and when the the infected population gets to an epidemiological high then it’s a “go”.
how effin’ sick is that?
News the media will never report....
Ah, a data management train wreck.
Punch up a pic of this "Judy" Faulkner person and see what you think...............Just saying.
That ain’t no “Judy”!
The government!
A LIV train-wreck. But the owner of the software is culpable. It should have asked what country the patient is from, not what continent. There is no Ebola outbreak in, say, Ethiopia.
Crash and burn, Obama cronyist, crash and burn. Or, Code Blue, in your parlance.
EMR’s are an incredible scam!
Sheesh! I wonder if that nurse knows who the Vice President is. That was Hannity's Man on the Street question yesterday.
Thank you, I was looking at an hour to go find that post.
EPIC fail, sounds like the VA. Who got the contract for the VA hospitals??????
Where is that picture of Claude Raines when I need it?
