Healthcare IT Podcast Healthcare IT News and Events Now In All 50 States and 42 Countries Around the World

On this week’s show, we talk with Jim Pesce, Executive Vice President and General Manager of McKesson’s Paragon group about what is going on with the Paragon Hospital Information System.  I still need other vendors to give me a call so we can feature their products and what is going on with them.  Jim asked me to pass along his phone number at the Paragon Corporate offices in Charlotte, NC so that our listeners can contact them with any questions.  Their number is (704)549.7123.

PLEASE…I need you to get the information out to your vendors and have them contact me at spencer@itpodcast.org so we can set up a time to talk with them.

On this week’s show, we talk about the CMS “Never Events” and talk with San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center Director of Quality and Patient Safety, Coryee Hamons about how these never events are going to affect hospitals and the challenges we face.  I have not forgotten about the multi-part series to talk about the various integrated hospital information systems that are out there, but so far, I have only had McKesson’s Paragon group and Meditech respond.  If I don’t get more vendors interested in participating, I plan on going forward with interviews with McKesson’s Mike Youmans as well as some executives from Meditech. 

I need you to get the information out to your vendors and have them contact me at spencer@itpodcast.org so we can set up a time to talk with them.
