EMR Testing

For the past several weeks, I was asked to coordinate testing portions of the new Loma Linda EMR system that will be going live in July. After endless meetings and trying to get others to get work done, today was a big day as it started to become an automated process. Independent teams now have to test together from what we call end to end (or from new patient scheduling an appointment to receiving a bill from an office visit).

On my way home, it reminded somewhat of what the graduate program is like. You spend your first several quarters doing a lot of work that can hopefully ease you into your research or project. It no way does that transition become automated, but seeing how your previous efforts shape into a finished product is worth the frustration and lack of sleep.

33 weeks to go

Last weekend, I came with the theme for my blog of highlighting what it takes to be a ____ and a full time graduate student.

Each time I try to explore the world of mircoblogging, I struggle in choosing ONE, and only one, to use. There various options all have advantages that make them unique from each other. Tumblr has a very clean and easy to use interface. Facebook is very popular. And Twitter has proliferated just about everything there is out in the digital world. However, with Twitter, I never have invested enough time and energy necessary for the continual maintenance for a growing Twitter account. Failing to utilize and maintain list, your main feed quickly become useless and cluttered with such random assortment of tweets that results in time wasted and frustration. Furthermore, trying to find just the right iphone app that has all the things want to do but doesn't exist just makes the problem worse.

I will give it my best shot and though I still would have liked to use my nurseacademia.com blog for the purposes of this class, I hope you will enjoy the entries related to my life.
