Contracting W2 vs 1099

ViSO — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:52:32 GMT

For the longest time, I've been wondering what a W2 contractor is and if it's a better deal than 1099. W2 is a contract employee and 1099 is an independent contractor. W2...As a W2 employee, you receive a regular paycheck from which your employer withholds all federal, state, and local taxes. You file regular state and federal tax returns, just as you would if you were a permanent employee. 1099...is not an employee of anyone but himself (self employed) but instead invoices and is paid by the client just as the client would pay any contractor. The client reports the payment to the IRS on a form 1099 but does not withhold taxes or pay social security tax.

Challenges of PACS and EMR Integration

ViSO — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 18:52:25 GMT

I found this topic very interesting. Particularly, since I have worked for a PACS software company (Heartlab now AGFA Healthcare) and CareTracker EMR. It's a quick video - just over 5 mins but very informative. The speaker is asked about his company's challenges in integrating these two disparate systems. He said the challenges were mostly making sure the provider had on single view into both the EMR and the PACS data. They accomplished this via HL7 messages, which contained the accession number and provider credentials for the specific image they were looking for in the PACS database. He said that simply clicking a link in the patient's record, they were able to bring up the image and patient information very quickly.
