Quality Implementation

A good article that touches upon the fact that not all implementations are created equal

Vision- Growing an electronic organism
One mythical man month at a time

I have this vision.
As i sit here at work
headphones on
building away
loggin it in the remote build tracker
jammin
i had a vision
of this thing called the 48 hour install
(epic speak)
basically, they claim to be able to install a full electronic medical record for a hospital in 48 hours
i don't know where the heck they came up with this
but one thing i do believe.
you can build an entire system in 48 hours if you have the right staff and coordination
i sorta saw the light
similar concept to the engineering firms who have staff all over the country and theoretically design and build 24/7
basically if we can map out predecessor and independent relationships of all of the records in the system, we could design a plan to rapidly build out specialties
you could almost just monitor the build tracker on google docs and see the progress
perhaps we could get a graph that could dynamically map the progress of the build or at least have a count of the records built.
but it could be so streamlined that each person would know what they are responsible for
when a predecessor record is built- an email could get sent to the appropriate party/pool to build the next records
before you know it, you have 100s, 1,000s of records built all by different people but coordinated to make one highly powerful organism
sorta like a transformer (the cartoon/movie kind)
gotta get back to work
this just hit me of a new cool idea for work
