Good article in the Boston Globe today describing a new system being trialed at the Dana Farber Institute in Boston. They are asking employees and patients (showing first names only) to wear badges to show name, location, how long they have been waiting, status of rooms (empty or in use) and several other functions to increase efficiencies. Since time really does equal money in healthcare this new application of existing technology is a great example of starting a company based on a simple, but creative concept. The developing company is Versus Technology.
This site intends to share information and opinions on Cardiology and other healthcare specialties, and the healthcare industry in general. Let's face it, healthcare is a business and the more you know about how it works the better off you are.
