We all know Microsoft is the king of code and they do a lot of stuff right but right now are losing a bit of ground in the mobility area with consumers and thus the shake up and changing around. Sometimes new ideas are a good thing along with new folks to follow through. The big item here...

I hope this proves to be useful and does get collaboration moving with innovation. My thoughts are that we have tons of innovation but a real lack of collaborating as there’s never a shortage of Entrepreneurs running around the US. There is a problem though of them getting money to grow though...

Every week I read in the news “we need more innovation” and for goodness sakes in Health IT we have innovation running out our ears! Everyone is so busy building the better mouse trap that we have forgotten how to collaborate and work together. We are seeing some signs of this and it usually...

Here we go once again and we all know the answer if you read this blog. We all know what success you have had with Microsoft Share Point and how it has increased information and efficiencies, and actually I mentioned that with my interview with Mike Naimoli from Microsoft Life Sciences and gave...

Ok remember a while back where I said stolen drugs could be located with Tags, well here we have a suggestion or an idea, a heat map from Bing. The products could be tagged by “lot” number and/or products. Obviously on a large scale we are looking at one grand “cloud” operation here. ...

This is pretty nice as all the Microsoft Partners who sell and support Government Cloud services from Microsoft are all listed in one convenient area. Additional information on cloud computing can also be found here. The feds though have to wait as they are out of luck for funding here as...

This is high on my list to view and these folks do a good job explaining a lot of what we think is crazy, and maybe it is. In doing this blog I see all kinds of stuff all over healthcare and there are good incentives, bad incentives and stupid ones too and I try my best to talk about how they play...

The article here addresses much of the political feelings and goings on in Congress, but for my little post here, I’m going use a simple analogy here, lack of participation and growing with the times. I think visuals speak much stronger than words and being a “geek” here I have found that I can...

I have Outlook 2010 loaded on a Virtual Hard drive for testing purposes but for my main communication area I am still using Office 2007/Outlook, which is was is advised for a “production” machine. Today I found that the Outlook Social Connector is available for 2007 and 2003 so I added it on. ...

Just this weekend Dr. Oz held the free healthcare one day clinic in Houston. Staggering numbers when he states that 1/3 of the people in Houston do not not have insurance. Obesity is discussed and how education works, making things easy to adopt is a focus with Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz didn...

This is happening in Houston today, to help those who do not have insurance and will be televised on the Dr. Oz Show in October. I am guessing part of the reason that Texas was chosen is due to the fact that they have more uninsured than in any other state. Hats off and nice work for Dr....

From time to time I have the opportunity and time to interview not only companies in the Health IT business, but also those in Clinical care, and being a geek, I have to study for those! At any rate, I am in the process of going back and adding a few more that I may have missed, but there’s a listing...

This was nice, the tables were turned and I was interviewed! Why do I blog? The people at DiagnosisPR, the blog from Racepoint Group, a public relations agency were nice enough to dig in to what goes on at the Medical Quack and how it all got started, and a nice mention of a couple...

This sounds like a good idea in concept, but first of all we have to get people to “read”. One other item worth a mention is the fact that by the time the information is published, it’s out of date. Google and Microsoft protect the enterprise and government so perhaps you think that maybe...
