We need good data and analytics for sure for decision making but we also need common sense and it's flying out the window as those little virtual things keep popping up, like blaming the EMR in Dallas for missing Ebola. I told all who bought that story have been living a little too virtual.<br /><br />On the interops though, the little platform Zoeticx been getting some attention as it goes JSON to JSON w/o HL7 or FHIR on the way it's engineered. I realize that EMRs need those standards too and this app on the platform works without it and collaborates data on the fly. There are times when functions need the HL7 and FHIR too I agree and has an open source API. <br /><br />Web platforms in the cloud are also going to end up being the saviors too of the small to medium size EHRS as they will be agnostic or should be anyway. <br /><br />I have never seen a time where folks are just so insecure without have a set of stats with them at all times and there's a time and place for sure but the brain washing of the media if you will is having a huge impact. I see it every day too where very intelligent people are buying into false or flawed numbers in the news all the time, and very few challenge it, scary.<br /><br />One of my favorites at the Q and A with Larry Ellson warning "be careful with artificial intelligence that's smarter than you"...<br /><br />http://ducknetweb.blogspot.fr/2014/02/larry-ellison-ceo-oracle-hcm.html Medical Quackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443589277651479846noreply@blogger.com
