Baker's little "project" regarding Bridgewater State Hospital is a complete lie. There have been multiple attempted rapes against both staff and other patients, heroin is running rampant, four hostage situations requiring special extraction teams, three riots, various judges across will not send individuals there and are sending murders to DMH facilities, and staff are assaulted daily.
FOIA requests will provide all documentation needed to back up these claims.
He is hiding it because he is proud that he removed hundreds of union jobs to give money to his corporate friends. Look at his connection to CCS (healthcare). He is corrupt. His administration is corrupt. He is lying to you.
Check it out, from a previous employee who almost died:

Per live press conference streaming here and on ESPN2
EDIT: The video of the press conference is now available on the Vikings website here
*Edit: the conference has ended. Some quotes (my notes from listening, any errors are my own):
Asked "is there any hope he plays this season?" "I don't know ... it doesn't look good right now."
On if they'll make a move for a vet QB: "Rick and I have been talking about it, we'll decide when we know more"
Says they sedated Bridgewater and he is currently undergoing an MRI at this exact moment
On players reaction to injury: "They would've reacted that way to it if it was anybody but me"
>Report from eye witness at #Vikings camp. QB Teddy Bridgewater "his leg snapped and his knee was flailing around"
Rapoport: Players were vomiting at sight of injury, looking away as quick as possible
So like the title implies I've never used an EMR sytem, and was surprised at the peculiarities of the workflow from when the patient first shows up, until we submit the claim to the payer(s).
I don't do any coding, just billing medicaid.
I don't have much actual IT knowledge. I program as a hobby (and dropped out of my physics undergrad in the third year...don't do that), so I have a basic understanding of how to do things semi-effectively, and securely with computers.
First I learned that there is no open standard for health records.
This is insane.
Instead of settling on an overly verbose XML scheme as a standard which would have been my guess for how a person's EMR looks, there is no system. At least not one that has been adopted as a standard.
Second I learned that you send a bill to an insurance with a charge you know they won't pay, so you can get the rejection. I don't understand why we even send it. This will add literal weeks onto a claim before it's resolved. That's not really IT related but I don't understand it.
A lot of the folk knowledge the billers, coders, and management have gained is difficult to understand coming into the field.
Exchanging data between systems is extremely cumbersome, and usually must be done by copy and pasting each field you want into the other system. Every claim after it goes to accounts receivable is looked at one at a time through a million clicks of menus and submenus in a system that no one ever really bothered learning.
We use Meditech Expanse and to be honest it is terrible.
I was shocked to learn about how far behind healthcare tech is.
I understand that PHI is important to protect, but a workflow where you need access to many systems does not help that. Having managers not upgrade from windows 7 after it became unsupported doesn't help that. Difficult to navigate programs you pay insane money for isn't necessary to stay HIPAA compliant. Some of the people store their passwords in word docs, probably stored in one drive.
And the reliance on paper my god no please stop this is insane.
I'll get used to the systems and hopefully develop my own workflow that makes things not so terrible. It's a little frustrating because I know that if the tools were slightly more interoperable I could do my job a lot better.
And it seems no one sees a problem with any of this, so maybe this is just needless complaining.
IT is usually pretty cool though.
