From this article, looks like CFH project brought in consultants around the same time (mid-2000s) CSC sold us (a tiny startup team) to MedPlus (owned by Quest Diagnostics).
I wouldn't trust CSC any further than I could kick them across a football field. I assume all the big consultants are the same.
- petepete 6y agoI haven't worked in the area for more than a decade, and I was very young when I did. From my experience though, too many parties wanted their own way and weren't really in a compromising mood. Even back then it was clear to me that starting small, evaluating and expanding was the way to go. Get a group of actual medical/tech experts to define a standard, build tools and test them in a single hospital and a few GP surgeries, enhance, repeat, expand. Trying to get it defined, designed and implemented in one go was madness.
- specialist 6y agoAgreed. Our initial team had a former RN who became a geek (sys admin). Huge advantage.
