http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4527365 http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/293/10/1197 I find the study itself a very good read, cleverly structured and perfectly timed. I am familiar with the TDS system used in the study hospital, it's an old war horse that has apparently been replaced last year in the study hospital. But the article would make a pretty good plot for an episode of ER. The authors' recommendations include this: "Plan for continuous revisions and quality improvement, recognizing that all changes generate new error risks." Seems to me that points us toward a key strength of Vista, the integration of users into ongoing design and maintance of the system. Translating that culture to the outpatient settings that interest me is a major problem. regards, jlz ---------- Original Message ----------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wed, 09 Mar 2005 21:42:25 -0500 Subject: [Hardhats-members] NYTimes.com: Doctors' Journal Says Computing Is No Panacea > This page was sent to you by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > I'm forwarding this article because it may be of interest.
