Healthcare Info and Mgnt System Society: "Avoid hospitals around 2000 ...It might just save your life." '38. Author: David C. Hall ( dhall ) Date: Mar. 4 11:20 AM 1998 Article in ComputerWorld News issue 03/02/98 about the 1998 Annual Healthcare Info and management Systems Society Meeting in Orlando. Has some quotes that seem to be interesting. "Nearly seven out of eight health care organizations risk Year 2000-related systems failures because of their lack of responsiveness." "St. Raphael's launched its $14.7 Million millennium project in 1996, well before many hospitals. 'We do not have the problem licked.' For example, the team recently uncovered 18 ventilators that were noncompliant." "Well, you might want to avoid being hospitalized when the century turns. It might just save your life." I really like the last quote. Guess what the general public will do when the mass media gets ahold of such quotes and publicizes them. Should be a wild time in the last six months of 1999, if not before. Dave Hall dhall@enteract.com'
