total fiction, cannot be done. i have a scanner on my desk. i scan everything i look at into the computer. so now instead of working i just scan. scanning used to be done by people at file management sites by people that scan all day long old records for filing. now its all done currently.
the paperless office was created by people too lazy, or too arrogant to leave their office, to go to the file cabinets.

so now i scan everything, because i have too, then i use the paper i just scanned to do my work with instead of using the scanned document onscreen. i have a box of paper next to my desk that contains the stuff i have scanned. it now my file cabinet, the box of unfiled paper, because they took my file cabinet away when they gave me the dam scanner.

the computer is a usefull tool, nothing more.
it cannot be used as a substitute for paper, people like hard copy.

whats next the paperless bathromm, try to wipe with a computer.

LOL--it is a little more involved that that. You dont acutally scan anything. You (the patient) enter all your medical information into a computer that is located at a kiosk (instead of using paper to mark your answers). The DR then is able to make Dr notes onto a PDA. The notes are then attached to the electronic medical record. Then if you go to another DR...the medical records can then be emailed or zipped to the other DR. Makes transfer of records much easier. Also, prescriptions can be written on the PDA and sent directly to the Pharmacy so no one needs to make a call.

Also, as a patient, you can log into the DR office scheduling and you can make your own appointments. So you will not need to call the office to schedule one. You can also change or cancel your appointment.

It is pretty neat. I went through the demo today and loved it.

sounds like a big data base so big brother can know just exactly what everyone has or doesn't have.
a data base like this is open to hacking abuse.
the data will be sold.
while on the surface it appears to be a helpfull idea, it will, because of human nature , turn out to be a source of conflict regarding personal security over information.

so instead of paying a clerk to input the data, they want you to do it for them. that way the doctor pays fewer people and he gets another house in Vail.

Exactly. And hopefully I will make some money. I want the company to be sold in 5 years. I figured a selling price of $20mm.

I own two in Indy. The first one is for large commercial vehicles. The other is for cars. I also own half of one in Clarksville, Indiana. Even though I do ok with these, I got lucky and inheirted a little money. Took some investment lumps along the way, but for the most part--my wife has a great business mind--i have the people mind. We make a good team.
