Re: [Hardhats-members] Re: TIU Interface for Document Scanning
I'd like to add a few thoughts
1. The FDA document linked above was interesting. I asks the question
as to what would happen if the system malfunctioned. How likely is it
that the patient would be harmed, or even killed? Even if document
imaging is not FDA regulated, this is a useful thought? What if
images don't contain patient identification, and get swapped. A
patient could be harmed by incorrect information.
2. This debate about what the FDA will or won't do could perhaps be
solved by putting together a document imaging system based on
VistAImaging. Do something to ensure that it can not be used for
diagnostic purposes (i.e. disable DICOM interface). Then submit it to
the FDA. At that point, they would likely come back and say "This
product isn't really within out scope". Just like they would say if
we asked them to authorize VistA use in general.
3. Ruben, have your mom check into cutting pill. I believe that
Lipitor is "flat priced", meaning that 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg tabs
cost the same. 80 mg, 1/2 tablet every other day is much cheaper than
20 mg daily. And go easy on us doctors. We really do have patient's
best interests at heart.
