Extormity supports CCR and CCD
Leave it to fictional EHR vendor Extormity to muddle the world of health IT acronyms.
From a “press release” sent out today:
Extormity Announces Support for CCR and CCD
Surrendering to the inevitability of standards-based data exchange, EHR vendor Extormity today announced the introduction of a new CCR/CCD information sharing module.
“We recognize that the healthcare community in general and patients in particular are interested in simplifying the movement of information, and that CCD, CCR and other acronyms beginning with CC are emerging as the de facto standards for achieving this,” stated Extormity CEO Brantley Whittington from his fall retreat in Belize.
“Now, if a patient requests information from an Extormity provider, they will be given the option of CCR or CCD,” added Whittington. “Our research indicates that patients who came of age in the 60’s and 70’s prefer CCR, and we provide them with a CD containing their greatest hits – including Bad Moon Rising, Who’ll Stop the Rain, Born on the Bayou, Proud Mary and Green River. Our EHR downloads these popular tracks from the internet and burns them on a CCD while the patient waits.”
“Those opting for the CCD format tend to be Catholic parents of children who attend public schools,” according to Whittington. “As these kids do not get religious instruction as part of their school day, our CCD module generates a catechism document which can be printed or placed on portable electronic media, satisfying meaningful use patient education and church doctrinal teaching requirements.”
Extormity clients will automatically receive the CCR/CCD module as part of their next scheduled upgrade and monthly fee increase.

I’m guessing this makes Mr. Whittington a fan of the Big Lebowski because he left the Credence tape. Hopefully, he does not support drinking or smoking pot while driving, even at his Belize retreat. This aggression will not stand!
I would hope that Extormity would not forget those of us raised in the late 50s. CD for us would mean civil defense and instead of all that new music, we’d want a guide to Conelrad, instructions for getting our less than nimble bodies under the nearest desk and how to dig a fallout shelter.
