Watson Wants To Help Vets

July 4, 2014

US veteran medical care is an ongoing topic of debate in the federal government. One of the biggest arguments is how to maintain veterans’ medical records. Business Insider reports that “IBM Overhauls Military Medical Records” and possibly instilling order in the digital chaos. According to the article, IBM and Epic Systems are competing for an $11 billion defense contract to revamp the Military Health Systems. The planned overhaul would affect 9.7 million veterans, active military, and their families.

Who does IBM and Epic Systems want running the program? Watson. IBM has been working on Watson’s medical diagnosis capabilities as well as his cooking skills. The idea is that Watson will clean up an Obamacare portion that demands healthcare contractors deliver flawless results.

“The Defense Healthcare Management Systems Modernization (DHMSM) contract would update the Pentagon’s record system and allow for easier sharing with the Veterans Affairs Administration (VA), which was recently engulfed in a patient-care scandal that culminated with the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.”

IBM toots its horn in regards to healthcare technology and its team of 300 consultants. The company is also proud of its Epic Systems partnership. IBM has been working with the government for decades, the provided translation technology for the Nuremburg Trials and more recently won a $1 billion cloud computing contract. IBM is noted to have reliable quality products. If Watson the super computer cannot fix the health records problem, who will?

  9. how to bulk up fast on September 30th, 2014 9:37 am

    If you too want to achieve bigger muscles, there’s
    no better choice than Testosterone Cypionate. If you are not at ease
    or confident taking bodybuilding health supplements offered on the marketplace, you possibly could
    also get all-natural supplementation from your very own residence.

    These muscle fibers are responsible for the explosive bursts of strength and power.
    During sleep time and your off days, the muscles will repair,
    recover, and grow. That’s why I believe that bodybuilding, just like any other human endeavor, is for smart people only.
