Problems wherever you go!

Friday, November 17th, 2006

To keep things in perspective, CfH is not the only organisation having trouble with its IT projects. United Health has been having a bad week. Its Evercare chronic illness management methodology is shown not to work in the UK.

But not as bad as Kaiser Permanente. First they lose their CIO where it is still unclear if his resignation was related to this expose. Then the more troublesome issue of difficulties with ethics. And we thought “Granny dumping” was bad!
And of course lest we forget, the Democrats gained control of both the House of Representatives & the Senate in the USA & there is talk once again of creating a single payer healthcare system. Which makes all this talk of US pressure to open up the NHS just so much hot air. Lame duck anyone?
