Applying Rocket Science to Health IT
Introduction The purpose of this post is to learn lessons from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft mission and apply them to healthcare IT. These lessons can be applied by any system engineer to any combination of off-the-shelf systems/software and do not require special training. These lessons will be increasingly valuable as more and more healthcare systems become interconnected and more people are depending on them for every basic transaction in healthcare. It is of paramount importance to make these systems 100% reliable. Background: The Cassini spacecraft was launched in 1997...
