I am pretty hard on phones. Been using lineage for years now on google pixel unlocked phones. 5a and now 6a. I have found both to have some real durability problems. Are there any good alternatives that are unlocked to use with lineage?

First, do no harm. This is a foundational tenant that permeates healthcare. As a former health system executive I have been in positition to influence decision making about high risk experimental treatments in certain cases. In the US curre

This is a much easier fix in Cerner. I would guess based on the limited information at hand there is something wrong in the setup of the order release rules. IT should hire a Cerner specialist and the problem should be able to be resolved i

Specifically with handwashing which is a problem I have been very successful at solving, time is not the main factor. It is wear and tear on the hands and this comes down to the soap used and water quality, really. If you get those too thin

This sounds a lot like Epic. Respectfully I don't understand how your facility can face those issues with a system like that and also be considered to have great operations and results. With Epic it is possible to workaround a lot of n

A lot of facilities run on a McDonalds type thinking when they should be looking at how In-N-Out is able to deliver a very similar product that is both dramatically better and either the same price or even cheaper. In-N-Out staff is well co

At ClearHealth/CLH we defined thousands of core business processes in a typical over 100 bed acute care institution. These are complicated animals. A hospital of any size is pretty much a city unto itself. There isn't one thing, t

If you go back and read the various dicussions, arguments and controversies from around 1984 regarding the enactment of HMOs it is my opinion that things aren't dramatically worse than at that point. Executive compensation is an issue
