#WHISTLEBLOWER tonight on CBS at 9 pm: Brendan Delaney and Electronic Medical Records

I received this today. I have been writing on healthcare information technology problems for 20 years, on this site since 2004 and others since the late 1990s.

This eClinicalWorks EHR story is the worst-case scenario: bad health IT, and vendor cheating in the (already weak) "certification" process to get the EHR to market without consideration of the severe harms that could result, Ford Pinto-style. 

This type of scenario is not what the pioneers intended, and is an example of how some in the healthcare information technology industry may have less of the altruism and responsibility that clinicians feel towards the medical mission.
