Haven't heard of Brantley Whittington, CEO of the EHR firm Extormity? Then perhaps you've been living under an HIT rock for the past several months. Not to worry, he's made a big splash at HIMSS11 this year and the legend will only continue to grow.Early Tuesday, at HIMSS11 Extormity, whose tagline is "Expensive, Exasperating, and Exhausting", announced the launch of their newest solution, Manacle: the Shackled Patient Portal. Said Whittington, "If you like tethered portals, you're going to love being shackled."
According to a press release regarding their data security protocols, "Extormity is now storing patient records in the last place anyone would think to look – old 8-track tapes," Whittington explained. "Every night, we download medical data from our servers onto recycled REO Speedwagon, Styx and Chuck Mangione 8-tracks, and we store them in a rusted Trans-Am with T-tops parked in our back parking lot."
Extormity is obviously a fake entity, but they make light of some of the very real pains felt by providers: prohibitive EMR costs, systems that alter workflow, and general turmoil.
In light of all the pains faced by providers trying to implement an EMR or EHR system, isn't it nice to know that there's a REAL company out there offering a REAL product that performs as designed: smoothly, efficiently, and easily? Lexicomp's content integrates seamlessly into various systems offering medicine lists, dosage precautions, pediatric dosage calculations, drug classifications, drug interaction lists, and more.
Take a few minutes to learn more, we promise it will be worth your while. If not, perhaps Manacle is the tool you're seeking after all.
