Massive Immunization Administration Analysis Tool Update
This has been too long coming. Before I continue with the details, I must thank Dr. Suzanne Berman for spotting a mistake in the tool! She pointed out one of those doozies that was so obvious, I couldn't see it.

Podcasts/Chip Hart
I had a great time speaking to Drs. Bravo and Rogu on their growing podcast, The Pediatric Lounge, to discuss the state of independent pediatricians and the use of data in a pediatric practice. They are cranking out episodes (which is a good thing) and anyone who supports independent pediatricians should tune in to their effort.
