Hi Tim - any hints on your 3/18/04 pharmacy rumor?

No hints - I've said too much already! But, you could easily read between the lines by thinking about which HIS vendor DOESN'T have a pharmacy system already. I think that's a very small number (in fact, maybe the smallest number of all.)

It is just an unconfirmed rumor, but the source is trustworthy. And if it's true, the industry reaction could be significant and instantaneous.

We are doing research on consulting firms aiding hospitals in implementations of HIS or CIS. Making good progress on FCG, Superior, CTG, etc, but struggling to find some providers where CSC has helped with implementation. Anyone know any hospitals where CSC has helped out?

JB,

My notes indicate that St. Vincents Catholic Medical Centers of New York in Jamaica, New York (www.svcmc.org) has partnered with and are under some sort of outsourcing arrangement with CSC and Superior.

Keep in mind though, this note is dated 6/26/2003. Good luck and let me know if you want to see the entire press release I have for it.

You mentioned that no commercial web sites mention HIStalk or have links to it.

Here's one that does: HCIT Research

Thanks ... I missed that link from HCIT Research. One and counting!

Anyone familiar with a company called Priority Healthcare? They are quietly eating up bio-pharmaceutical companies. Upon reading about them I was surprised that this market hasn't grown faster (other than the fact that the overhead has got to be outrageous considering the cost of the meds!).

I have interesting info regarding 12/2/403 posting. Please respond.

Hi Joshua. Thanks for the note. Send me an e-mail at tim@histalk.com and we can discuss offline. I keep all e-mail private unless I clear it with you first.

Tim
