Death by a Thousand Clicks: Where Electronic Health Records Went Wrong | Fortune
Death by a Thousand Clicks: Where Electronic Health Records Went Wrong | Fortune:
It didn’t feel like her usual migraine.
The 47-year-old Vermont attorney turned innkeeper visited her local doctor at the Stowe Family Practice twice about the problem in late November 2012, but got little relief.
Monachelli’s husband sued Stowe, the federally qualified health center the physician worked for. Owen Foster, a newly hired assistant U.S. attorney with the District of Vermont, was assigned to defend the government.
Though it looked to be a standard medical malpractice case, Foster was on the cusp of discovering something much bigger—what his boss, U.S. Attorney Christina Nolan, calls the “frontier of health care fraud”—and prosecuting a first-of-its-kind case that landed the largest-ever financial recovery in Vermont’s history.
- The U.S. government claimed that turning American medical charts into electronic records would make health care better, safer, and cheaper. Ten years and $36 billion later, the system is an unholy mess: Inside a digital revolution gone wrong. A joint investigation by Fortune and Kaiser Health News.
It didn’t feel like her usual migraine.
The 47-year-old Vermont attorney turned innkeeper visited her local doctor at the Stowe Family Practice twice about the problem in late November 2012, but got little relief.
Two months later, Monachelli was dead of a brain aneurysm, a condition that, despite the symptoms and the appointments, had never been tested for or diagnosed until she turned up in the emergency room days before her death.
Monachelli’s husband sued Stowe, the federally qualified health center the physician worked for. Owen Foster, a newly hired assistant U.S. attorney with the District of Vermont, was assigned to defend the government.Though it looked to be a standard medical malpractice case, Foster was on the cusp of discovering something much bigger—what his boss, U.S. Attorney Christina Nolan, calls the “frontier of health care fraud”—and prosecuting a first-of-its-kind case that landed the largest-ever financial recovery in Vermont’s history.
Foster began with Monachelli’s medical records, which offered a puzzle.
Her doctor had considered the possibility of an aneurysm and, to rule it out, had ordered a head scan through the clinic’s software system, the government alleged in court filings.
The test, in theory, would have caught the bleeding in Monachelli’s brain.
But the order never made it to the lab; it had never been transmitted.

But the order never made it to the lab; it had never been transmitted.
The software in question was an electronic health records system, or EHR, made by eClinicalWorks (eCW), one of the leading sellers of record-keeping software for physicians in America, currently used by 850,000 health professionals in the U.S.
It didn’t take long for Foster to assemble a dossier of troubling reports—Better Business Bureau complaints, issues flagged on an eCW user board, and legal cases filed around the country—suggesting the company’s technology didn’t work quite like it said it did.

Until this point, Foster, like most Americans, knew next to nothing about electronic medical records, but he was quickly amassing clues that eCW’s software had major problems—some of which put patients, like Annette Monachelli, at risk..."

Bought off?-----Why did Kamala Harris let Herbalife off the hook?
Why did Kamala Harris let Herbalife off the hook?
"...U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris announced her intention to seek the presidential nomination by casting herself as a tireless advocate of men and women who lack power and wealth....“I knew I wanted to protect people,” Harris told the crowd of 20,000.
"...U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris announced her intention to seek the presidential nomination by casting herself as a tireless advocate of men and women who lack power and wealth....“I knew I wanted to protect people,” Harris told the crowd of 20,000.
“And I knew that the people in our society who are most often targeted by predators are also most often the voiceless and vulnerable.”
But as the attorney general of the nation’s largest state — and therefore one of the most powerful law enforcement officials in the nation — Harris declined to investigate Herbalife, the nutritional supplement company that has been accused of fraudulent marketing practices.
- ...prosecutors in the San Diego office of the California attorney general sent Harris a lengthy memorandum that argued for an investigation into Herbalife and requested resources in order to undertake such an investigation. Similar investigations into Herbalife were already taking place elsewhere.
- About three weeks after the San Diego letter was sent, Harris received the first of three donations to her campaign for the U.S. Senate from Heather Podesta, the powerful Washington lobbyist whose ex-husband Tony’s firm, then called the Podesta Group, had worked for Herbalife since 2013.
- Heather Podesta’s own lobbying firm, Heather Podesta and Partners, would soon be hired by Herbalife, too.
Harris did not pursue an investigation, even as the Federal Trade Commission proceeded with an investigation of its own, which had been opened the previous March and which suggested that sufficient grounds for such scrutiny did exist..."

Steele admits he used posts from 'random individuals' on CNN website for Trump dossier
Steele admits he used posts from 'random individuals' on CNN website for Trump dossier:
The dossier that launched several investigations into Donald Trump and his presidential campaign was based, in part, on posts from "random individuals" from a CNN website that allows the public to publish unverified information.
Christopher Steele made the admission in a deposition given in connection with a lawsuit against the dossier. The judge released portions of the deposition this week.

Malia, Michelle, Barack and the College Admissions Scandal
Malia, Michelle, Barack and the College Admissions Scandal
"What shocked even the old timers in my hometown was that Mayor Hugh Addonizio, the man who gave me my Eagle Scout Award, would accept kickbacks in cash right across his desk.
They were troubled less by his criminality -- that was expected in Newark -- than by his lack of subtlety.
Addonizio paid for his indiscretion with a lengthy prison sentence.
So it is with the current college admissions scandal.
People have been scamming their ways into prestige universities for decades, maybe centuries, but in the past they have had the good sense not to put the cash on the table.
It seems that in this scandal a few of the bribers and their brokers may well pay for their indiscretion with prison sentences as well.
...Malia is the fourth member of the Obama family to attend that august university, none of whom, save perhaps for Grandpa Obama, deserved to be there.
...Barack Obama’s back door, however, was unique to him.
Before prosecutors send some of the dimmer Hollywood stars to the slammer for their dimness, they might want to ask just how much influence a Saudi billionaire peddled to get Obama into Harvard."

Media Silence Surrounds Muslim Massacre of Christians | Breitbart
Media Silence Surrounds Muslim Massacre of Christians | Breitbart:
“The hypocrisy on display is astounding,” the pastors continued. “Christianity is the dominant religion of our country. It is the foundation of our government and morality. And yet, Christians are treated as fair game for mockery and insult.”
Christians are by far the most persecuted religious group in the world, but the mainstream media routinely ignore this fact as if it were unimportant or uninteresting. As a result, many people do not even realize how widespread the persecution is or that 75 percent of the victims of religious persecution around the world are Christians.
Whatever the reason — or reasons — for the media silence surrounding the most recent massacres of Christians in Nigeria as well as numerous other such events, it should give right-thinking people pause.
By all means, the lethal shootings of dozens of Muslims in New Zealand is a massive story and merits extensive coverage. But it only stands to reason that similar coverage should be devoted to the slaughter of Christians.

UMD student gov votes to create full-time 'undocumented student coordinator' role
UMD student gov votes to create full-time 'undocumented student coordinator' role- A temporary "undocumented student coordinator" position at the University of Maryland may just become permanent, if the student government has its way.
- The coordinator isn't the only position offered by the school for illegal alien students.
In a unanimous vote, the University of Maryland’s student government voted to create a permanent, full-time position to help illegal immigrant students.
- “Address the immediate needs of the undocumented student population"
...UMD is not the only university that has provided resources or created coordinator positions for illegal immigrant students.
Other institutions such as Georgetown University, the University of California, Loyola University of Chicago, and DePaul University have taken similar steps to protect illegal immigrant students..."

"So what happened in 2015 and 2016 to cause the violent crime rate, including the homicide rate, to rise after decades of decline?
I can’t think of any explanation other than the Black Lives Matter movement and the relentless attacks on law enforcement that it engendered, which were supported by the Obama administration.
But what happened when Donald Trump took over in the White House?
The homicide and violent crime rates began to fall again.
If the New York Times’s projection is correct, the second year of the Trump administration saw a steeper decline in the homicide rate."....

Judge: U.C. Berkeley must answer for anarchist attacks - WND
Judge: U.C. Berkeley must answer for anarchist attacks - WND:
A federal judge has decided that the University of California at Berkeley must respond to a lawsuit over anarchist attacks on campus when a conservative speaker, Milo Yiannopoulos, was scheduled to appear.
Visitors on campus to hear him were caught up in the riots carried out by anarchists, prompting a damage complaint on behalf of John Jennings and others against the president of the University of California system, Janet Napolitano, and others.
Freedom X Law said Wednesday its complaint is moving forward.
“After two years of legal wrangling, including two motions filed by the University of California, Berkeley, to dismiss a lawsuit targeting the university for allowing anarchist demonstrators to viciously attack visitors to the campus attending a conservative event there, a federal district judge in Oakland, California has decided that injured victims of the attacks can proceed with their lawsuit,” the organization announced.
Shortly after the election of President Trump, anarchists and other leftists planned to riot when they learned that Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak on the campus.

...In a free society, people earn income by serving their fellow man.
Here's an example: I mow your lawn, and you pay me $40. Then I go to my grocer and demand two six-packs of beer and 3 pounds of steak.
In effect, the grocer says, "Williams, you are asking your fellow man to serve you by giving you beer and steak.
What did you do to serve your fellow man?"
My response is, "I mowed his lawn." The grocer says, "Prove it."
That's when I produce the $40.
We can think of the, say, two $20 bills as certificates of performance — proof that I served my fellow man.
A system that requires that one serve his fellow man to have a claim on what he produces is far more moral than a system without such a requirement.
For example, Congress can tell me, "Williams, you don't have to get out in that hot sun to mow a lawn to have a claim on what your fellow man produces.
Just vote for me, and through the tax code, I will take some of what your fellow man produces and give it to you."...

Chicago To Shutdown Composting Business Because Regulations Don't Cover Worms - Slashdot
Chicago To Shutdown Composting Business Because Regulations Don't Cover Worms - Slashdot
schwit1 shared an article from Reason's "Volokh Conspiracy" blog:
Nature's Little Recyclers is a father-son business that does composting on empty residential lots, transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich soil. Last year, the business's worms processed 10 tons of banana peels and cups from the Chicago Marathon that would otherwise have gone to a landfill. But Chicago officials are going to shut the business down -- and not because the city doesn't think composting is a good thing (the city's sustainability website directs people to Nature's Little Recyclers). Rather, the city's business and zoning regulations weren't designed to accommodate small and innovative operations like Nature's Little Recyclers.
"None of these operations met the criteria for garden composting or an on-site organic waste composting operation," said Anel Ruiz, spokesperson for the Department of Public Health, in a statement to Block Club Chicago, adding "Further, these sites are not properly zoned for commercial composting."
But another perspective was shared by lawyer Amy Hermalik, associate director of the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago.
"The city will unofficially imply there's wiggle room, saying it only enforces certain ordinances against 'bad operators,' but that leaves businesses subject to shifting political winds or personal whims, Hermalik said.
'They [the city] have an incredible amount of power to do as they please.'"

Supreme Court Broadens Scope of Census Citizenship Question Case
Supreme Court Broadens Scope of Census Citizenship Question Case:
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday broadened the scope of what it will consider in resolving the legal fight over the contentious decision by President Donald Trump’s administration to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, agreeing also to decide whether the move violated the U.S. Constitution.
In the aftermath of a March 6 ruling by a federal judge in California, the high court said it will decide whether Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross ran afoul of the Constitution’s so-called Enumeration Clause, which sets out the terms under which people should be counted in the census, when he added the citizenship question in March 2018.
