Jim, sure could have used a voice of support like yours from the outpatient side back then.  We were so far ahead of the curve on EMR that we faced heavy headwinds from many docs and even senior hospital administrators.  You would have loved the lab results reporting, it was spreadsheet like with episodes (dates of care) as columns and rows as test results. The was a great benefit to patients coming in through the ER.  It also supported practioner specific custom views.  There was also a very early PACS system that the Radiology Dept was piloting.  We brought low res proxies to the bedside from that.

A huge problem then as now is nomenclature and codification.  Hard to fuse a lifetime care record from multiple entities.  I was involved in an ARPA project around the same time that looked to bridge this divide among the participant institutions.

Alas, I became disenchanted an left healthcare IT in 1997. So interesting that I can jump right back in as the landspace remains much the same. Sigh.

While I was the Director of System Services at Georgetown Hospital we developed a partial EMR in the early/mid 90s!  Best features, IMHO, were the bedside order entry and results reporting (the platform was cutting edge client server with Sun Workstations, SQL back ends, and legacy anciallary system interfaces). Our design assertion was that cost savings came from directly presenting the ordering physician quick and full access to med and test orders and results from past outpatient and in patient episodes or care.

Got 2 seats in 18, F

For Both, +1

While the second goal resulted from the defenses inability to clear the puck, Isles hugged the short side pipe with his lower body, but left a gaping hole from his waist up. That was a preventable goal with better body position.

Beth and I will be there.

I thought Iles looked ok most of the time, but he showed very poor anticipation/reaction to the 5th goal (the one the went off a skate).  He seemed frozen to his left when the pass went to the right.

Tickets are only $6, JUST DO IT

Beth and I will be at Harvard.

I received a UPS ship notice earlier this afternoon for an order placed this morning.

Yes, single day is what most of us have been buying to get near/in the Cornell block.

Beth and I will be in 117 Q 13/14 on Friday and 117 P 1/2 Saturday.

I also got tickets from the ticket office about 2 weeks ago in section 112.  Beth and I will be there.

And no national championships. Sigh.

It is amazing to see the leading scorers then had 50 and sometimes 75 points a season. Although that was the much a result of a bunch of 12-3 and 7-1 games against a Princeton, Yale, or Brown. The playing field is more level now, so to speak.[/quote]

It is a shame we did not not go far during that time. We matched up well with everyone.

Think what we could do now with the likes of Peter Shier, Roy Kerling, Lance Nethery, and Brock Tredway. No opposing team lead was ever safe from the fire power of those young men. Each of those forwards new how to finish!  And Peter Shier had a slap shot from the point that was every bit as potent (maybe moreso) than Douglas Murray's.

But if memory serves, we were a bruising defensive team along with the potent offense.

Our hallmark is defense, but that has not hampered our recruiting in past eras.  My introduction to Cornell Hockey was in the mid 70s.  This was a period of high scoring and good goal tending.
