Re: FYI re Health IT - Progress not Perfection...

Thanks Lisa, for the heads-up.

Probably best for healthcare usability analysts to quit trying to work  
within the given framework.

So far, authority documents the needs claimed by the experienced,  
creates job titles, then hires "experts" to solve the identified  
problems that the experts have never themselves experienced. If this  
is not TOTALLY backwards reasoning, as well as outright theft of IP 
then let authority define its own problemsand see how far it gets by  
trying to force-feed efficiency through The Certification Commission  
for Health Information Technology.

Go ahead: Try to license "use" of healthcare information in lieu of  
usability analysis.

I, for one, will have NO part of it.
