Kaiser's EHR debacle

A whistle-blower exposes the unbelievable corruption and waste going on with Kaiser's EHR implementation. Shameful. More at HIStalk.

    Typical. The military AHLTA EHR joke is costing even more (I believe near $5-6billion) and the system sucks. Maybe someone should look into it. Unlike Kaiser the military EHR fraud is stealing from US taxpayers.
  2. And more at CorpHQ, where I've been following this story since Friday:

  3. There's actually a Kaiser-AHLTA connection - William Winkenwerder Jr., assistant secretary of defense for health affairs comes from the Kaiser ranks. Perhaps that's where he got the impulse to repair IT problems by changing the system/project name, too. ;-)
