Satirical Sites Take Aim at Health IT Industry
by George Lauer, iHealthBeat Features Editor
This story has a prerequisite: If you haven't already seen SEEDIE.org and Extormity.com, you might save yourself confusion and frustration by checking them out before reading further.
For those already familiar with the two satirical sites spoofing the health IT industry in general and electronic health records in particular, this story will shed a little light on the motivation behind them. Emphasis on "little." We won't tell you who's behind the sites. They're not ready to go public yet.
But they did agree to answer a few questions from iHealthBeat. Two "executives" -- Extormity CEO Brantley Whittington and SEEDIE Executive Director Sal Obfuscato -- take turns answering in character.
And then site creators do it for real ... sort of.
