Long time! You mention that Purkinje had great functionality others didn’t at the time. From what you know of today’s market, do you think you’d pick them again if you were doing a selection now? Who else would be your top choices? I am the Interim CIO at Bromenn and we’re looking at one of the larger suite vendors of handheld apps (including e-prescribing) that integrates well with MEDITECH (we’re C/S).

BTW, on the ambulatory front, my MEDITECH folks are telling me they already have developed standard interfaces to a couple of top products like NextGen and Allscripts so they’re hedging their LSS bet. I hear good things about eClinicalWorks and athenaHealth too We use Misys but our owned physician group is not happy with it.

Is Purkinje used in all outpatient settings (Emergency, surgery) and transfers to the outpatient setting (discharge)? Last question – does Purkinje connect with SureScripts and RxHub or direct to the PBMs (Medco, Caremark, etc.)?

Like any point of care delivery system – device availability in support of the workflow and clinic layout takes some attention to get it right. I have to agree – this is a win with physicians, nurses, and most importantly, with patients. Great post!
