   Very cool video; but also biased info.

   According to Healthcare Finance News, the industry lags behind in automation. In a recent survey, the healthcare industry was determined to be at least 15 percent behind other industries when it comes to automation.

   Ann,

   First of all, I am not a fan of CCHIT; nor am I a fan of electronic medical records in their current form. Most ME-P readers and subscribers are aware of this blog’s bias against them, as well.

   But, I am a belated fan of open source; Linux/GNU Linux, Open Solaris, etc. This is just one reason why I get so mad at the US healthcare industrial complex and its general lack of IT interoperability, as well as with those who promote our so-called HIT leaders carte blanche, and/or the status quo without thinking. Not to mention proprietary eHR advocates and entrepreneurs, like Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts.

   On the other hand, maybe I am just jealous of him?

   Nevertheless, although one might use many diverse standards as examples – MSFT Word® versus WordPerfect® comes to mind when I entered the computer era more than two decades ago – just imagine what it was like to edit a major textbook when you received 5.25 inch floppies from more than a dozen disparate authors in an assortment of proprietary computer word processing programs?

   Does anyone remember Leading Edge, MacWrite, Edix-Wordex, WordStar, Wang Text, Easy Writer, or MultiMate? Or; how about Spellbinder, Word Vision, XyWrite or Text Wizard, etc! Now, can you say ASCII?

   But – for eHRs purposes – some colleagues report using the ASTM Continuity of Care Record (CCR) as a more open source example. Now; I am not selecting sides, but the format is reportedly good [XML], and while there is always room for enhancements, the general structure is said to be reasonable. Other reporters, like Matt Holt of The Health Care Blog, seem to concur, as well. This is not unlike Linus Torvalds and the linux kernel.

   Moreover, also like the others – Dr. David Kibbe and Steven Waldren – two champions for CCR have always been helpful any time our staff or colleagues asked questions of them. And, this advice is greatly appreciated and worth much. Of course, the CCR is a good example because their barrier to access is also low (less than $100, or so).

   And, since the Continuity of Care Document (CCD), and Continuity of Care Record (CCR), are often seen as competing standards; let them duke it out, and perhaps we will all benefit.

   For the uninitiated, the Continuity of Care Record (CCR) is a health record standard specification developed jointly by ASTM International, the Massachusetts Medical Society, HIMSS, AAFP and the American Academy of Pediatrics; along with some other health informatics vendors.

   Because it is expressed in the standard data interchange language [XML], a CCR can potentially be created, read and interpreted by most any eHR software applications. A CCR can also be exported in other formats, such as .pdf and Office Open XML (Microsoft Word 2007 format).

   Many thanks.

   Experimenting with a Tullman

   Aren’t computers wonderful? For me and virtually everyone else who touches a keyboard, the first click in research is a search engine. I am fond of Google, perhaps because it is the only one I use to find information about topics and names I come across.

   I have shown many times that with the unwitting help of curious readers and sports fans, Google can be easily used by anyone as an aggressive and penetrating PR tool when strategically combined with interesting content posted on blogs. I contend that if a complaint is popular enough to make it to the first pages on Google for evasive bureaucrats, CEOs and PR hacks, it naturally holds them accountable to consumers like never before in history – and in such entertaining ways! Anyone have any better idea for being heard? How about contacting one’s Congressperson? Right. Try it if you want more lip than service. And how hard is a politician going to work for you when the reticent good ol’ boy one wants to drag out into the open outclasses you in campaign donations, quality lobbyists and friends in Washington?

   Here’s the equalizer that has me excited today: Do you think that working together we can demand the attention of someone as important and mighty as Glen Tullman? I cannot think of a more deserving and powerful character to try this out on. Tullman is not only the CEO of Allscripts (MISYS), one of the largest healthcare IT vendors in the nation, but he is also a trustee for CCHIT – the national entity which certifies his Allscripts products. His fortunate streak of luck runs even deeper and wider: It is well known that Glen Tullman is a generous contributor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and an acknowledged advisor. He’s met the President of the United States. They’re neighborhood buds from Chicago.

   I posted this on Twitter this morning: “’Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts disappoints D. Kellus Pruitt DDS’ is his 7th hit when one gglesearches his name. Let’s push it up, friends.”

   This brings me to an idea for a fun and worthwhile community project that may in a small way, even help to clean up our neighborhood streets by sending slick salesmen on down the road. I am therefore requesting only a click and a few minutes of your time to help push my caustic comment up to Glen Tullman’s number one hit. If you want to play along, and send Tullman and other good ol’ boys a message from down below where Americans live, please click onto the link to the article and spend a few minutes there as if you are reading what I had to say about Tullman’s egregious conflict of interest.

   Randy Duermyer changed his mind about posting my comments on Randy’s Home Business Blog. I sent him this note. I doubt it will be posted, though.

   -Darrell

   Since you de-posted my comments, Randy, I assume that after a period of time, you determined that they are more aggressive than you wanted on your blog. No hard feelings. And I am not at all interested in stalking you to seek retribution, even though you and I both know that I could easily outclass your SEO skills with mine. I doubt that you have ever had to use SEO for personal defense. As anyone can understand, my comments have been deleted by command-and-control types far too many times for me to get upset. After all, it is your blog and you have every legal right to control its content.

   Just like you, lots of publishers, I’d say most, naturally don’t want to get too close to me. I understand their concern, even if defending their image is oh so transparently lame. As anyone can see, it is hardly my goal to make friends. And that quality alone makes me a special bastard, as you discovered.

   If you happen to even be interested in knowing, my goal at this point in my adventure is to simply tear up things I don’t like using any means necessary – with no regard to decorum, old school ethics or hurt feelings. The nastier I get, the more fun I have. And I have to tell you, Randy, I am enjoying an unprecedented level of fun with journalistic freedom that I’m sure would thrill you too if your career was not marketing of all things – forcing you to be ever conscious about the image you project.

   I’ve read enough of your stuff, good stuff by the way, to think that you know what I mean, friend, and that in your soul, you envy my freedom to say anything I want about how I feel about archaic notions of civility that are used to protect the status quo as if it were an automaker too big to fail. Imagine what the world would be like if everyone in the nation enjoyed not only freedom of speech, but the capability. As one who truly likes to write, using words like bomblets, I can only imagine that for you, it’s like never being able to go on a vacation.

   The Internet is not my career. Dentistry is. And my patients have absolutely no idea about my nasty alter-ego. I think that is what makes poking holes in inflated egos so much fun for me. I’ve got nothing to lose, and nobody can hurt me, not even Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts.

   Beware that as time goes by, more very angry consumers with the heartfelt desire to tear up stuff will discover that the Internet means empowerment. They could be less benevolent than I am. Do you think we should worry about the threat of anarchy or will things turn out OK without the government clamping down on Internet conversations like you might be inclined to do?

   Happy Memorial Day!

   Team Allscripts’ progress report

   This afternoon, six more Websites for hire featured Allscripts’ press releases. That means that today, Allscripts spent money on eleven identical Internet ads that look like articles. Here are the recipients of Allscripts PR blast so far, and the times they were posted today:

   EarthTimes – 10:58 AM
   AjaxWorld – 10:58 AM
   StreetInsider.com – 10:58 AM
   Sys-Con Media – 11:.02 AM
   Blog-n-play.com – 11:02 AM
   PRNewswire.com – 11:30 AM (?)
   BreitBart.com – 11:51 AM
   Reuters – 11:51 AM
   Pharmainfo.net – 2:06 PM
   Bio-Medicine – 2:48 PM
   Bio-Medicine (second) – 2:48 PM (?)

   So how successful was Allscripts’ PR blitz? Thanks to the nationwide help from sports fans, my comment “Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts disappoints D. Kellus Pruitt DDS” is still barely hanging on to its beachhead position on Tullman’s first page, but it has been successfully displaced to the number 10 hit by two press releases that rose in popularity to move ahead of it. All nine others lag behind on pages 2 through 4.

   For command-and-control types who may find they also suddenly need to purchase a PR blitz for “reputation management,” here is some news that they can use: PR Newswire is probably the strongest player in the Internet advertisement business (Tullman’s number 4 hit), closely followed by BreitBart.com (number 7).

   If Allscripts continues to have to purchase ad space at this rate, I wonder how much their defensive PR will raise the price of their digital health records that physicians will be forced to purchase.

   Can anyone in the audience familiar with PR provide an estimate of the money Allscripts spent today? You don’t think stimulus money was spent on the ads, do you?

   Subject: RE: LinkWorth Introduction

   Christine, I have something to confess. When I first approached you and LinkWorth about defensive PR, I did not have friendship in mind, and I hardly need your service. As a dentist who writes better than average content copiously, I can naturally take care of my own SEO needs. Now that I’ve seen how genuine and friendly you are, I feel ashamed that I was actually awaiting the chance to flame LinkWorth – just like I have viciously flamed other much larger, and far more powerful organizations, including a few that are in the SEO/SEM business.

   To show you that I’m very good at my hobby I love to describe, and that I am one whom Thomas Friedman (“The World is Flat”) would call “empowered,” if you googlesearch “Intelligent Dental Marketing,” you will easily see that my boasts are not just so many pixels. Because of my talent, any dentist in the nation who wants to investigate the only dental marketing firm that is endorsed by the American Dental Association (which owns 51% of the business) – if he or she goes to Google right now, my super-critical comment “Time is up, Intelligent Dental MarketingI,” is the fourth hit, and it has not left their first page since the day after I posted it on November 28. How bad do you think that has hurt their sales?

   The Utah advertising firm just cannot shake me. But wait, there’s more. Here is what I still find humorous: Trajan King was hired as IDM’s CEO because he is well known as a savvy SEO expert who could lead the business into the future. They didn’t count on me. He has not uttered a peep in public about SEO since my comment “Trajan King, Intelligent Dental Marketing and SEO Tricks” showed up on his first page several months ago. This one moves between his first and second hit depending on if I casually mention his name on a blog somewhere to make a point. You better believe he’s pissed. He blocked me from following him on Twitter as soon as he discovered it. I’ll forever remember him as someone who publicly folded on Twitter before I had a chance to say anything at all. For a marketing CEO who should know what marketplace transparency is all about, how good is that? What makes this even more humorous is that Trajan King is still considered to be a successful business leader on a national scale by many who don’t understand what has happened.

   Here is some news you can use, and please pass it on: My aggressive attitude toward your company changed remarkably when you took a personal interest in me using natural PR skills that cannot be taught in college and have nothing to do with defeating search engine algorithms. You didn’t patronize me as usually occurs. You are personable and seem to be more genuine than those I have chosen to run over. Maybe my aggressive attitude on the Internet is softening after three years of using SEO to clean up my neighborhood. Perhaps it is time to quit tearing everything apart, and start building when I notice worthy foundations.

   I find our relationship interesting: Whereas LinkWorth works to move harmful comments off of a client’s first page using what I have proven to be lame “reputation management” SEO tricks, I like to think I use more powerful SEO tricks to enforce accountability where I think it is absent. One could say that we are potential adversaries in the marketplace, and that should we find ourselves wrestling for your client’s reputation, I can whip even the very best tricks you have at your disposal – but don’t worry, I’m not out to do such a thing any more.

   I do hope you don’t find this boring. This week, I am giving Allscripts (MDRX) CEO Glen Tullman’s PR crew all they can handle. I imagine that those specialists are among the best. After all, Allscripts is arguably the largest and the most well-connected healthcare IT company in the nation. On Tuesday, I just know that these PR types were in desperation because they knew that if they did nothing at all to counter the tricks that I pulled on a couple of blogs, I would have successfully moved my comment “Allscripts CEO Glen Tullman disappoints D. Kellus Pruitt DDS” from its former number 7 hit up to at least Tullman’s second or third. I think that since you are in the business of SEO you might find my interpretation of their efforts interesting. Not only did someone reinforce and continue to reinforce the rank of his existing nice comments, but they also purchased eleven identical press releases to keep my comment, from moving up his first page. They were partly successful. By yesterday morning, two of the press releases (one from PR Newswire and BreitBart.com) pushed my comment down to number 9. But this morning when I checked, my comment had risen to number 4. Now it has dropped back off of Tullman’s first page to number 11 at last. I wonder how much those press releases cost. How much will they cost when I do this again in a week or so?

   You can see that nobody scares me, and if you caught my tweet this morning, you read that I am openly challenging an Air Force colonel on his expertise about dentistry. As I was writing this, I received an email from the Air Force telling me that they are looking over my points in preparation of responding to my challenge (They haven’t a chance, Christine).

   But I am also fair, and I treat those who impress me very well. Here’s an example of what I can do with organic “reputation management:” A while back, I read some good ideas of a CEO named William Rusteberg who manages a small, state-wide insurance business in Texas. As a dentist, I try my best to promote the free-market qualities of a type of straightforward dental benefits plan that is very similar to his ideas. The plan I like is called Direct Reimbursement, and since it leaves patients’ choices of dentists alone, it is obviously better for patients’ health than the deceptive plans offered by traditional insurance companies. William Rusteberg is now making these kinds of plans work in the health insurance industry in a couple of areas in Texas.

   http://www.cnbc.com/id/30686579

   Here is how I helped him. If one of his potential customers gglesearches his name, my very honest and flattering comments come up as his first and second hits.

   I know this has been a long response. Please consider that I only spent the time to write it was your caring attitude, Christine. T
   Thanks.

    Glen Tullman’s wisdom

    Today, I came across advice from Allscripts CEO Glen Tullman that he wrote a couple of decades ago. I gave it a contemporary treatment.

    http://www.inc.com/magazine/19880301/7152.html

    Horse? What Horse?

    By Glen E. Tullman, Mar 1, 1988

    Don’t blame the government. The auto industry has brought the problems it faces on itself by making products that lack quality and cater to auto executives’ whims rather than consumer wants. Between outsourcing parts and selling Japanese vehicles under U.S. nameplates (for example, the Chevrolet Nova), many “American” cars would have a hard time meeting our own domestic content standards.

    The good news is that people still appreciate quality. As GM’s market share decreases, Ford is having a record year and is producing the kind of quality you can’t legislate, only appreciate.

    ———————————————————–

    (Mine is the only comment following Tullman’s encouraging words – timeless wisdom all should learn from):

    Twenty-two years later, Glen Tullman might write:

    CCHIT? What CCHIT?

    Don’t blame the government. The eMR industry has brought the problems it faces on itself by making products that lack quality and cater to HIT executives’ whims rather than consumer wants…

    Glen Tullman has the nation in his hands. Can we trust him?

    Due to distractions, I’ve been out of the news loop lately. I usually watch for items about Allscripts CEO Glen Tullman, and normally I would have hailed Alexandra Zendrian’s September 7 article “How Allscripts Helped Shape Health Care Reform” as “breaking” had I known about it a couple of days ago.

    http://blogs.forbes.com/alexandrazendrian/2010/09/07/how-allscripts-helped-shape-health-care-reform/

    Zendrian writes: “The day the Allscripts, Eclipsys merger was completed, I sat down with Allscripts CEO Glen Tullman who discussed, among other things, how he helped to shape the health care reform passed earlier this year.”

    Does that scare anyone else? If not, listen to Tullman’s explanation to Zendrian: “There was some initial legislation that said, ‘We’ll give every physician who doesn’t have an electronic health record $15,000′,’ And we actually were against that. People said, ‘Well, how can you be against that? You would benefit.’ I said, ‘Just telling them to buy a system doesn’t mean they’ll use it.’ So taxpayers may not get a good return.”

    Do you think there is a chance that as time goes on Tullman’s words will become even more humorous?

    Tullman is the one who said that “physicians should have to borrow money to pay for eHRs so they will have some skin in the game.”

    They love him on Wall Street as well as Pennsylvania Avenue, and it shows.

    Allscripts CEO Glen Tullman Stumbles
    [And I’m there for him]

    In a Healthcare IT Linkedin conversation with Tom M. Gomez, an entrepreneur based in New York and Miami, I predicted that the increasing amount of bad news concerning the dangers of EHRs could cause a drop in Allscripts stock price about now. As it turns out, I was right. I posted a lucky I-told-you-so on LinkedIn, just to stir up some activity with HIT stakeholders. I like activity with my buds. They don’t say much anymore, but I know they like me.

    ———————–

    Another I told you so. “UPDATE: Allscripts Chairman Departs With 3 Directors; 1Q Net Falls 54%” – Wall Street Journal.

    http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20120426-728824.html

    “Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. (MDRX) terminated its chairman, a move that prompted the resignation of three board members in protest and contributed to the company’s stock getting cut nearly in half in after-hours trading.” – WSJ

    More drama on the horizon

    When those protesting the chairman’s termination start talking, one can bet that the melancholy story is going to attract interest in the HIT community. It could even be harmful to Obama’s re-election bid considering his closeness to Allscripts CEO Glen Tullman.

    Tom, if you recall, about a month ago I suggested that the increasing number of news reports questioning the safety of EHRs might show up as a drop in the price of Allscripts stock … “in about a month.”

    Even though the timing was pure luck, who couldn’t see the banana peel in Tullman’s future?

    Some are calling for the resignation of the former Wall Street sweetheart and influential friend of Barack Obama from Chicago. Obama and Tullman often played basketball together. Talk about sportsmanship, teamwork and symbiotic luck! Tullman was even selected to be a CCHIT Trustee in the early days of EHR certification. That position certainly didn’t hurt Allscripts or Tullman’s support for Obama.

    My disgust with Tullman’s coziness with federal officials who spend my tax dollars peaked in December 2008 when I read Bloomberg.com reporter Alex Nussbaum’s, “Insurers, Costs Spur Rise in Online Medical Records (Update2).”

    http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aX4cYX.5J0pg&refer=home

    Nussbaum wrote that Tullman, addressing a forum sponsored by Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. and Leerink Swann & Co, told potential investors that future federal spending on EHRs should be tied to physicians’ use of the system (later called “Meaningful Use”), and perhaps come in the form of loans, “to ensure doctors have some skin in the game.”

    Doctors are already graduating with loans amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. While Allscripts, the dominating monster in the EHR market, is making billions off those same doctors (read “patients”). How much skin does Tullman want?

    Any return for doctors’ investments in EHR systems is questionable even with stimulus money, and even before the estimated 30% de-installation rate for brand new systems. What did you expect from a mandated product with Meaningful Use requirements? Customer satisfaction?

    The reason healthcare costs keep rising could be Wall Street. If you ever intend to become a patient, or if you pay increasingly more for insurance that’s worth less and less, this won’t make you feel any better about your doctor bill: Immediately after Tullman casually invested doctors’ skin into his company, Allscripts stocks rose almost 5 percent – showing prompt investor approval of Tullman’s idea through the use of cell phones.

    Bubbles pop. In the last 24 hours, the price of MDRX has dropped over 40% and is still falling. But more importantly, I told you so.

    Transparency’s a bitch, but the HIT industry might as well get used to it. By the way, anyone know the cost of HIPAA compliancy for a practice with 4 employees?

    “Mr. Tullman blamed the soft sales on a reorganization of the company’s sales and service teams into one group and a trend of customers deferring transactions as they waited for Allscripts to introduce new products and demonstrate that its existing products could be integrated more seamlessly.”

    And I thought the soft sales was because doctors were putting off purchases until security issues could be resolved. Silly me! Tullman says he was just reorganizing. No big deal.

    If Allscripts is the biggest player in the EHR market, and healthcare providers are waiting on Allscripts, doesn’t that mean that Glen Tullman is standing in the way of adoption of interoperable EHRs?
