Holy Crap Lois! Apple is Taking Over Hospitals!?

Freakin' Sweet Apple Invasion!

Alright alright settle down you newts! Peter Griffin here reporting live from my couch. So get this Lois! Emory Healthcare in Georgia is going full on Apple. I'm talking iPads iPhones the whole shebang! They're turning their hospital into a freakin' Genius Bar! Seems like they're hoping all these shiny gadgets will make doctoring less complicated than figuring out what Stewie wants for dinner. And they are hoping to have better cybersecurity too after getting burned by that CrowdStrike hack last summer they thought 'Hey let's go Apple since those devices didn't get paralyzed!' Smart move Emory smart move. Just don't let Stewie near the operating room; he'll probably try to install a world domination app.

Why Apple? Because Reasons (and Less IT Support)

Apparently these Emory bigwigs think Apple is the bee's knees. User friendly less IT headaches better security… Sounds like my kind of party! They said they need less support than those other products 'cause they say it has long lasting battery and hardware. Unlike my old TV remote that eats batteries faster than I eat chicken wings. Seriously I went through a whole pack of Duracells watching 'Die Hard' the other day! But here's hoping the new changes work out. 'Cause if not then it's time to start panicking!

Game Changer or Just Another Gimmick?

Dr. Joon Lee the CEO of Emory Healthcare thinks this could be a 'game changer.' A freakin' GAME CHANGER LOIS! But he also admits it won't be all sunshine and rainbows. Reminds me of that time I tried to train a chicken to play the piano. Looked good on paper but the chicken just kept pecking at my face! But Dr. Sumbul Desai vice president of health at Apple said that Apple really believes in technology's power to improve lives. So maybe there is some hope after all.

CrowdStrike's Epic Fail and Apple's Shining Moment

So here's the real kicker. Emory got burned by a CrowdStrike software update that basically shut down 20,000 of their devices. But guess what? The Apple stuff kept chugging along! That's like the time I accidentally set the kitchen on fire but my beer fridge stayed perfectly cold! After that disaster they brought in the Apple and Epic (the electronic health record company) to see if they can make things work out. In fact the health record company said it is like the 'central nervous system' of the health care organization. Jeez Lois I did not know that.

Epic and Apple: A Match Made in Silicon Heaven

Turns out Epic and Apple have been flirting for years. They've got apps and stuff but now they're going all the way. Epic even has a version of their software for Macs! It's like when Quagmire finally landed Cheryl Tiegs. Giggity! But here's hoping that this new development will work out otherwise well God help us.

From One Floor to the Whole Damn Hospital

Emory started small testing the Apple waters on one floor. The doctors and nurses loved it! It's like when I discovered that putting mayonnaise on pizza is actually kinda good! (Don't judge me!). So now they're going all in at Hillandale. If it works they might spread the Apple love to all their hospitals. If not well maybe they can use the iPads as giant expensive frisbees. I call dibs on the first toss!
