I am two days behind, I admit, but the comments were live. Last year, I gave a little ’shout out’ to all the folks I’d seen and I am going to abandon that concept now, as the list would be over 100, easy. “You know who you are.”
My apologies for the recent hiatus. In the year and a half I’ve been blogging, I haven’t gone more than 3-4 days between posts, I think, except for the last week. Even during vacation. It’s just been a super busy week. We’re Shipping Out To Boston to...
First, Boston. Any faithful readers going to be there? We already have a pretty large, informal crew heading out on Sunday night, 10/12 and I know a lot of you will be at the SOAPM dinner (sponsored by PCC, of course…no one else cares about you :-))....
First order of business: ICD-9 changes for 2008 go into effect on 10/1 and there’s a doozy in there. Here’s a copy of a message we’ve sent to PCC clients and I’ve left some of the PCC links in there, because anyone can use them and it’s easy to cut a...
Sorry about those all-caps, I just pasted that from a press release. I’m at home watching the Little Rascals with the boys who are enjoying it more than I expected. The rascals are no Abbott and Costello or, more importantly, Jonny Quest, but still f...
A quick post from the airport from my "cutting edge" blog. The folks from CCHIT would like us to spread the word about some upcoming opportunities for “civilians” to participate in the CCHIT process. From their message:
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. 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.
