As much of a Reichwing asshat as he is, this blows. I’ve despised him for a long time, and when Oracle bought Cerner (a for-profit, software company that makes the self-titled electronic medical record, Cerner, which is a MAJOR piece of shit, by the way), I had hoped that Oracle would take a beating over it. After all, on a NO-BID contract awarded by Jar-Jar(ed Kushner), for Cerner to provide their EMR to the VA, they HOSED up royally at several facilities and had the project put on hold. Part of their problem is that as a publicly owned company - geared for maximizing shareholder value 🙄, their sales people would over promise. The engineers would then either under-deliver, or never be able to deliver what the sales clowns said they could do.

Cerner has also faced numerous lawsuits in the past related to botched rollouts and lost data. LOST health record data! A gigantic, no-no, NEVER-should-happen event.

The software is also POS on the front end. I won’t ever go to work for any facility that uses it. That’s how much I detest it.

Screw Cerner and Oracle/Larry Ellison.
