About a year ago, I shared a piece from softwareadvice.com about CCHIT (on whose Child Health Certification committee I serve). I found their original response pretty well balanced, so I now pass along their followup to the piece. I won't go through ...
As though I haven't spent enough time away from home so far this year, I will be on the road giving what I think are some particularly fun and educational talks. If you are nearby, you have no excuse to not let me know. Sign up for the event or let m...
I don't like to think about the blog on weekends - hey, we're busy preparing for Nowruz! - but I saw this post from Dr. Russell Libby and had to share it. I wish I had thought to do a similar calculation, but the credit goes to him:

What they are doing takes a tremendous amount of work and their guest list is amazing (well, besides me). They turned our conversation into back-to-back episodes (32 and 33), "Independent Pediatric Practice 2022" and "Data Data Data and Managing a Pediatric Office." If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
