03/26/2019, 5:47 PM@creece Cerner, eh? They have been making news in our area, at my wife's former employer, but not in a good way: https://hitconsultant.net/2019/03/20/glen-falls-hospital-settlement-cerner-billing-problems/

03/26/2019, 5:49 PMInteresting.. i wonder if this is the same bug i was on where even though insurance would cover it, the billing system coded wrong so hospitals were losing like 100k/day
creece
03/26/2019, 5:49 PMit was around that time
creece
03/26/2019, 5:49 PMwell it existed slightly before but no telling when they fixed it

03/26/2019, 5:52 PMThey were definitely hemorrhaging money while the bug existed, and it lasted for at least half a year, possibly longer

03/26/2019, 5:56 PMI think the hospital switched from Epic Systems which was more expensive (though the billing worked) to Cerner to save money. They also laid off all internal IT people and outsourced those functions to Cerner

03/26/2019, 6:08 PMwell, hopefully the hospital recovers. They are one of the major employers in the area, and also the only nearby hospital for a large portion of the Adirondacks.
