There has been a disturbance in the Force, as if millions of archaic pagers beeped together at once, and were suddenly silenced. The Empire, with its draconian communication and privacy regulations, has brought the Jedi to their knees, forcing the use of ancient technology from a WAY less elegant time. But the Farce has awakened, have you felt it?

In Episode I, the #pagermenace foreshadows an epic conflict between archaic communications of the past and a coming future of secure, seamless, patient-centered and team-based technology. But the shadow of the overhead page looms over all…

Episode II: The Clone Wards reveals the true power of the Dark Side of poor communication (WARNING: not for the faint of heart)…

Episode III: Revenge of the Fax is the climactic conclusion to the saga wherein Doc Vader faces his greatest adversary yet…coming soon!

Thanks to Backline by DrFirst for helping make my childhood fantasy of starring in and producing a real Star Wars movie a reality. They’re focused on building solutions that help the entire healthcare team communicate easily, securely, and with nary a pager or fax machine in sight. Check it out at http://pagermenace.com!
