[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4226718"]Red Flag #3: The Significance Of Alice Schwartz’s resignation to Amedisys Why is the departure of a Chief Information Officer relevant to Amedisys shareholders? For most companies, the CIO isn’t even on investors’ radar, so what’s the deal here? The answer lies in the recipe for Amedisys’s “secret sauce” – their proprietary laptop-based Point of Care information system. Former employees have consistently reported to Citron that the laptop-based Point Of Care program, in which every healthcare staffer records every patient visit, is specifically designed to prompt workers to skew their Oasis scoring for higher reimbursement. It is Citron’s opinion that this explains why Amedisys’s margins are the highest in the industry, not that their patients are “sicker” than their competitors’. Numerous employees have told Citron that they feel pressured by the continuous automatic computer prompts in Amedisys’s POC system to change their scores on the Oasis reports they submit. It is going to be interesting once auditors realize it is the POC system’s rule-base which exerts influence on thousands of health-care practitioners, who are bound by onerous employee contracts and subject to being fired if they “cause trouble”. So who knows the design and architecture of the rule-base better than anyone? Who oversaw its system specifications, development, implementation, training, scalability and all the “enhancements” over the last eleven years? That would be the Chief Information Officer, who resigned as described above. Considering the intensified fraud audits the company is now subjected to, investors should wonder: Is it just getting too hot in the kitchen?
