Geeeeze Star.: I just wake up and find you talking about my nap.

This was one boring week with anemic volume. Greenspan is going
to speak tomorrow so I would caution anybody holding long or
short into his sideshow as he has a bad habit of peeing on
everyones parade.

Star...re VWKS and PSTI. You are correct, their businesses do overlap. Healthcare IT is one of the few areas that have been underfunded and these two companies fill the void. Both are involved in information systems, and HIPAA regulatory programs.
Both deliver their services via WEB browser vs. in house IT. As I understand it, PSTI is favored by some because of their barcoding software and also what is called computerized prescriber order entry system or CPOE. (Don't ask me to further explain this).
I do know that PSTI processes in excess of 240 million transactions annually, and manages over 26 million patients online. This will increase substantially as more medical organizations come on board to beat the Oct deadline for filing all patient and reimbursement data by digital means by then or face stiff penalties.
As for PSTI being superior to VWKS or vice versa, I'm not sure. Hence my position in both companies. Both of them should continue their upward climb as a result of the pending regulations.
As for Naz's sock drawer or napping with M Winston, honesty compels me to say I have been in worse places. :-)
Did I completely muddle your query?
