Extormity Giving Away iPad for Most Compelling Case Study Of An EHR Vendor Annoyance/Frustration Story at HIMSS

You have one week from today to get your entry in! I like these folks as they make us all laugh at ourselves and bring us back to earth when it comes to electronic medical records. We have had many in positions to where they see one side of the story only and sometimes forget about the end users, the doctors so in their humorous way they keep up on track. They also said at HIMSS this year they will be uncovered so we will find out who they are, can’t wait for that! Read the full press release below and there’s a link to submit your story and all names and vendors will be changed to protect both the innocent and the guilty. By the way, I have to once more include their testimony video from a couple weeks ago, this is a riot! BD

“You want a PHR…I’m entitled to one…my existence profits from stock

options says Jack…I have that luxury….we use words like implementation fees, custom integration, software licensing as a way of defending our cost structure….I’d rather you just wrote me a check and went on your way (EMR Vendor speaking)…Jack has spoken.”

Press Release:

Recognizing that hundreds of Extormity Alert subscribers have experienced their share of expense, exasperation and exhaustion associated with an EHR implementation, Extormity is soliciting case studies from its followers.

“When people sign up for Extormity Alerts, they usually include comments indicating frustration with their EHR vendor,” stated Extormity CEO Brantley Whittington. “While we take great pride in over-promising and under-delivering, it appears that many of our competitors are taking a page from the Extormity playbook.”

“We are inviting our fans to submit their true-life encounters with these ne’er do well wannabes, and we will promptly replace the name of the offending vendor with Extormity so we can take credit for fostering disappointment while extracting our pound of CIO flesh,” added Whittington. “We plan to publish the most compelling case studies at extormity.com. The individual who submits the best entry will win an iPad, which is now the de-facto giveaway item for healthcare IT companies.”

Extormity will announce the winner at a press event at the upcoming HIMSS11 conference in Orlando.
