Say aah! Microsoft's Prescription for Healthcare Sector | |
|
||
| Time: 05:31 EST/10:31 GMT | News Source: The Times Online | Posted By: Joshua Baer | ||
|
MICROSOFT, the world’s biggest software company, is preparing for the first time to sell versions of its Office and Windows programs specifically designed for the healthcare sector as it seeks to smother a challenge posed by Linux, a cheaper rival. The company is set to break with precedent by tailoring its software for use by a variety of medical professionals to try and win a lucrative deal with the National Health Service, The Times has learnt. If successful, the strategy could mark a significant change in the way Microsoft promotes software to its main customers. The company is thought to be weighing similar refinements to its software packages for a range of sectors such as banking, telecoms and utilities. | ||

I guess the main addition will be a single button (or template) labeled "Financial screw-over the Patient". Once pressed it automatically generates all the documents necessary to thoroghly demolish someone's financial well-being.
Happens every day. Might as well make a Macro! TL |

Yeah, the healthcare industry provides absolutely NO SERVICE for all that money they get. Oh wait, thats right... they take care of the people that most of us wouldn't even want to LOOK AT, let alone touch.
Isn't it about time we stop being so transparently critical, providing no suggestions... just griping on and on for years and years. I have a physician in the family that puts in 14 hours/day, everyday. They earn every penny they get out of "the system". So, don't let your contempt for the system run over into contempt for the people WITHIN the system. It should be quite obvious that the real problem is government intervention. There is nothing FREE about the healthcare market. It is a disastrous set of contridictory regulations, micro-regulated to the point of exhaustion. The people actually tasked with working within this government-CREATED spaghetti ruleset... are good honest folk. If you're gonna blame someone, blame the fat ole govenment. Its all a product of years and years of democratic lawmaking... culminating in a system that is inefficient, regardless of the manpower involved.
