Fantastic, but now I'm more confused then when I started. Sigh. I'd be up for a long-distance duet regarding the definition of meaningful use...if you can come up with a solid one that is..ugh.

You are a true!! CH (Comedian Harmonist). Do this to your patients and they won't need a HITSP!

[Hunkola]

This dude nailed the problem right on the head.........all this talk about electronic medical records is just the government's way of spending hundreds of billions of our tax dollars on fancy acronyms (HIT, ONC, etc) and fooling all of us into thinking things will get better when they will only get worse and worser until it's just a BIG PILE OF USELESS SHIT........

Great job - especially with the finale!

The vendors were doing just fine- the doctors are not. The medical record is supposed to be about patients, not billing codes.

That said, I hold little hope that the current intervention will make it better.
