Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Down with CCHIT

>>> All these subjects are welcome provided that some simple Forum etiquette is followed. That being that you stop hijacking threads into a CCHIT discussion.

Nick- why are you doing here? Are you now stalking me outside of emrupdate? Leave me alone if you don't like me or disagree with me.

Threads become hijacked all the time. Do I participate in the discussion? Yes. What is happening at emrupdate is that I was being singled out because I disagree with 2 of the moderators over CCHIT/P4P/eprescribing.

Bob Larsen, the NextGen rep, hates me because I mentioned the truth- that QSII stock has lost 40% of its value in 2007 and they offer not as much "assurance" as CCHIT leads folks to believe. He was also angry at me because I mentioned that were it not for Secretary Leavitt/HHS backing CCHIT the way they do, CCHIT would be in violation of the anti-racketerring laws (RICO). I also posted the financials for 2 of the other "top" enterprise CCHIT certified EHR companies- Allscripts and Quadramed, and they each lost 40% of their stock value since 2/2007, even though Dr. Leavitt, Chairman of CCHIT stated that sales would go through the roof (in 2007 sales for Allscrips dropped by 20%). The Motley Fool on 3/2007 stated that the future sales of new EMR units for QSII/NextGen was limited going to the far future... that the QSII stock was thus overpriced.

EPrescribing is a big one for the USA- just read my PPT presentation that I posted last week, or simply read any USA paper, Nick. Congress may be mandating it this week- forcing this technology on everyone, including all of us physicians on this website. AC for example would not do- it would need to be CCHIT certified. I asked Bob Larsen to debate me on these issues from a NextGen point of view and all he could come up with is adhominum attacks. No data, no citations, nothing...

Nick- you have chosen a set of moderators that now include 2 people that vehimently disagree with me on many political and technological levels. You are now interjecting yourself to try to keep NextGen as one of the emrupdate "sponsors". Don't deny it as darn it- you post it right there on your home page.

To come back all I asked was that you in one way or another remove these 2 moderators from emrupdate so that I can argue with them on a level playing field. That's all, and it is critical that you, as the webmaster if you are not going to support me, then stay out of the way or join in on the discussion. To "castigate" me in any manner or form, well, is childish, and worse yet, bad etiquette.

That's just the way I feel. From what I've seen just about everyone else who has chimed in on this issue at emrupdate over the past 24 hours feels the same way about these 2 moderators, especially Larsen, the NextGen rep. I wonder how many "valued sponsors" you'll be able to keep now that the truth is known? BUT it is your website and you can do as you please, even if you run it to the ground.

After more than 3500 posts, you have now labelled me a "problem poster" now both inside and outside emrupdate. Maybe YOU need to retract some of your statements to begin to put out some of the fire and anger. Notice that although I am royally upset- I have yet to trash you or your personna.

BTW, the reason why he came here is because he locked me out (not that I was going to post there anyhow with the 2 moderators in question still working). I apologize to all for his attacks on my character, and most of all, for his stalking behavior.
