Fix for Cerner on Mac
It seems the newer version of the Citrix for Mac client doesn't come with the keystore folder that is required. I've updated the instructions and provided the keystore folder with all the cacerts that should be needed.
Have at it.
Cerner - Friend or Foe
Congratulations to Eric Valentine, our new Director of Information Services.
I know Eric is very capable, but I'm not sure that even he can fix Cerner.
I know I'm not alone in thinking that this ongoing experiment that is Cerner Millenium is not working out well. I still wonder what other EHR systems might have been better choices.
I know from reading on the web that Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center uses eClincalWorks. John Halamka, MD is the Chief Information Officer for BIDMC and he's one of the brightest guys around in the medical information system field. They have a combination system that he describes on his blog.
Perhaps it's time someone in Tenet cut the cord on this beta program that is Cerner. Perhaps we should talk to Harvard and see if they're will to license it.
Standard disclaimers apply, my opinion only.
