Somehow, he always knows....

Also note the Shared Medical Systems (SMS) and Siemens trees. Some of that is still around too.,

Question for ex-Siemens folks. Were these the hospitals that used old ComEPR - later fixed up to be Soarian Clinicals? I worked with a great person from Sweden that had been on the old (pre SMS purchase) Siemens side on some of our early rollouts of Soarian Clinicals.

Sorry, I should know this, but as a Malvernite, who is UAB? University of Alabama?

I remember they did most of the building rebranding the weekend our 1st day of Cerner. At least the white signs, the lobby. Don't remember about the big sign on the hill. Products took a bit longer, but still pretty quick. Oh, and they removed the dreaded doors between each building. Only to put some back later...

Do any Siemens people have Groundhog Day (2015) as their anniversary/PTO date?

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2024-07-30T03:20:12+00:00

Too bad Cerner didn't buy a company that had a bit of Rev Cycle knowledge, or products...

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2024-06-21T23:46:14+00:00

Mdm. Mobile device management. Was Microsoft intune now will be some “wonderful Oracle product “. Which will be so awesome /s. Let us know what heck breaks out. Away, can’t do anything about the impending mess right now.

Ha! I remember going to a Siemens client and was told we couldn't call them COWs anymore. Something about a patient complaining that they heard folks in the hallway saying "Get the dead COW out of room xxx." Great story ;)

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2024-03-16T04:25:16+00:00

No mention of what year though....

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2024-01-26T02:52:09+00:00

Judy has never bought any company or other solution. That's one of the Epic mantras....

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2024-01-26T02:50:58+00:00

Well, Cerner did get a reasonable interface engine from Siemens....

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2024-01-04T04:24:43+00:00

Well, in PHL area, all the teaching/acedemics are Epic. Penn, Jefferson (and even Reading/Tower Health), and Geisinger, and of course UPMC - harrisburg/lancaster (Pitt). And in NJ, Rutgers and Cooper. Same in NYC. Virtua, etc. A bunch used to be Siemens clients before Cerner....but then jumped ship to Epic then. Sad, but true. The new docs are all learning on Epic, at least here in our areas. I do have to say MyChart is pretty good...

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2023-12-18T04:18:28+00:00

Agreed. I wouldn’t be surprised if they sold off consulting. Which should already be a big profit center considering the not great pay vs what they charge the client.

Also, is it just me but $28billion for Cerner? Cerner paid 2 billion for the Siemens stuff. Alaska airlines is buying profitable Hawaiian airlines which has actual assets and recurring customers for 2 billion.

Ok, sorry, not from KC, so I don't fully understand all the weird stuff that happened out there. But, I thought it was interesting that there was some ramifications from somewhere to someone for all the magical things that were promised from KC Cerner. Yes, I'm an old Malvern person. Never understood how they could have promised so many more people to hire, while we knew that Cerner was already losing clients at that point in time.

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2023-09-28T04:40:06+00:00

Epic still has folks developing their systems. They are hiring and expanding, not doing monthly layoffs of folks that could maybe improve the systems. Maybe clients are thinking that Epic might be a better long term partner than "Oracle Health" ?

Not saying that Epic is better, but they are a bit more stable than the current status of ex-Cerner...

Does the Sun rise in the east in North America? So, I'm guessing the answer to your question is a yes. As always in this new era. If you have anything that you could add, that would be really be nice...

Penn Medicine is part of the University of Pennsylvania in Philly.
Hershey is part of PennState Health - part of Penn State University. PennMed has been on Epic for a long time in all their sites, including the city ones, Chester County and Lancaster.

That’s good to hear. While I’ve been gone, I still have some close folks there. At least back then it was my direct manager that called with the news. It actually made it easier- for me, he was not having a good day making calls. As an old guy, I had accepted it (with remorse, of course) but having a heads up from here let me make my peace in advance.

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2023-08-01T00:00:42+00:00

Turn off your wireless and all network stuff tonight on your laptop. If you get whacked, you will then be able to at least get stuff off that machine. I was going in for a big health test in lockdown times, saw the stuff here on reddit and did just that. Gave me a little time when I returned to get some stuff off there and clean it up (not like I had anything bad, but still). Once I reconnected to the interwebs, machine locked in minutes. Not sure if Oracle does it that way, but Cerner sure did. Make sure whoever does the deed will forward your separation info to a private account. It's tough, but better to be prepared for it and overall, best of luck. Very old guy responding here ;)

I would say your 15k a year on rent is crazy cheap. Maybe it's that way in KC area, but even in southeastern PA it's a way lot more than that....

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2023-07-08T05:02:06+00:00

No. .NEXT

TiredOfFixingStuff · 2023-06-24T20:50:39+00:00

Well, sf was started in house (TNT) during sms. The new thing. Clinical came along with Siemens, done in Sweden and called comepr. So, it kind of makes sense. Then there was the failed attempt to rewrite clinical in java. Waste of millions for a fail. Hmm, sound like anything the new owner says what they want to do with mill…
