At the (deliberately) provocatively-titled piece “Are Health IT Designers, Testers and Purchasers Idiots Who Are Trying to Kill People? Part 1” and Part 2, I wrote that I would be presenting mockups showing the EHR deficiencies I am hearing about.

Of course, theres still the option of testing body parts, etc. as well and some of those procedures will more than likely always be there. BD
