Health Information Technology: The Lighter Side

A couple of Web sites lampooning the current HIT landscape, well worth checking out:

http://extormity.com/ is home to the world's most amazing EHR prouct. From the site: "At the confluence of extortion and conformity lies Extormity, the electronic health records mega-corporation dedicated to offering highly proprietary, difficult to customize and prohibitively expensive healthcare IT solutions. "

The other site is SEEDIE, "the Society for Exorbitantly Expensive and Difficult to Implement EHR’s, a healthcare IT standards organization that is completely funded and operated by a select group of proprietary electronic health record vendors."

Enjoy :)
