Time for a break from the regularly scheduled HIMSS programming (sorry there’s just a lot of HIMSS content to still be published) for some thoughts and comments on the EHR Certification Interim Final rule. What can I say? I was inspired by CCHIT’s...

Well, as you might have noticed, I decided to take the weekend off from the blog. I figured it was reasonable to take a weekend off after the craziness of HIMSS. I still have a ton of content from HIMSS 10 that I’d like to post. So, watch for more...

I’m still working through some of the various wrap ups from HIMSS that I’ve found. Matthew Holt is always an interesting blogger. Turns out that he’s even more interesting in person. Here’s a few of his thoughts that I think are...

Sometimes it’s the little things you catch at an enormous conference at HIMSS that are the most powerful. One of those came for me when I was talking to the VP of marketing from one of the EHR vendors on the floor. This was one of the most interesting...

For one of the New Media Meetups at HIMSS we met at the Pervasive booth on the exhibitor floor. I must admit that I wasn’t quite sure what I’d find at the Pervasive booth, but I’d had a few interactions with the people behind the company...

I was glad that I had at least one chance to talk with a vendor about Smart Cards at HIMSS. Sure, smart cards have been around for a really long time, but I wanted to see what was happening with this relatively old (25 years or so) technology.
Well, I...

Ever since I first saw Fred Trotter’s post about CONNECT being the future of EMR interoperability, I was really interested in the open source software CONNECT. Of course, when the PR person from ONC emailed me with an opportunity to talk with someone...

During a meeting I held with the CEO of Aprima (previously iMedica), it came out that Aprima has created a learning management system for users of the Aprima EMR system. Ok, before you stop reading, hear me out. Sure, every EMR vendor has some sort of...

On more than one occasion I’ve talked with people about the work the people at MModal are doing in the healthcare IT space. I think they’re a really interesting technology that could save all those doctors that want to still dictate their...

On Thursday at HIMSS I attended a session called “Implementing and Measuring EMR ROI in the Specialty Practice” by Peter M. Deane, MD. This was the second such session that I attended. I was and am really interested in how practices are measuring...

I rated the HISTalk party at HIMSS as the Wildest party in my Best and Worst of HIMSS post on EMR and HIPAA. No doubt the HISTalk party was an event to remember with a lot of really influential people there. However, probably the best part of the night...

I’m very happy to finally publish my first e-Book on EMR selection called “Selecting the Right EMR.” It’s 35 pages which I believe will help doctors and practice managers select the right EMR. This EMR selection e-Book is a good...

I always love when people are interested in doing guest posts on this site. This is going to be the first in a series of blog posts about some of the misinformation that’s out there about the EMR stimulus, certified EHR, and meaningful use. I hope...
