From Warren, KD4GUA:
This Sunday we will discuss "Isabelle" a diagnostic tool that is being used by the VA to come up with a diagnosis in children. The program is available to private doctors and all hospitals. [Blogmaster's note: It appears to me that two ideas are being run together here. The VA doesn't do diagnosis in children. We do not (yet) have child-veterans in this country. Tune into the net to hear the real story!]
If we have time we will discuss the law that took effect in Florida Jan. 1, 2007 and which will be in effect all over the US by October. It is the law concerning PRESENT ON ADMISSION DIAGNOSIS which means you have to list all the diseases a patient has before they go into the hospital so that the insurance and Medicare will not be billed for those pre-existing conditions. It is already implemented in California so maybe Arnold can tell us about the added regulatory work involved.
IF YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH "ISABELLE" or other computer programs dealing with diagnosis or experience with PRESENT ON ADMISSION please help out. This one should be a necessary bore, but the boys pulling the puppet strings are serious.
