CMS Listens to Those Calling for a 90 Day Meaningful Use Reporting Period
I think that most of us in the industry figured this was just a matter of time, but it’s nice that we were right and CMS is working to modify the requirements and reporting periods for meaningful use. I imagine they heard all the many voices that were calling for a change to meaningful use stage 2 and it’s just taken them this long to work through the government process to make it a reality.
Before I act like this change is already in place, CMS was very specific in the wording of their announcement about their “intent to modify requirements for meaningful use” and their “intent to engage in r...

What Is the Future for Rural Physicians? Is There One?
This article says that these and all the technology to go with them along with physician acceptance is “Inevitable”.
I have four physicians. I don’t see a place for them long term. My first is my Internist. A few years ago he was given a cell phone as a gift. It does all he will ever want. If it rings, he answers it. If he has to make a call, he dials the number. He has no computers in his office. All his files are paper. As a Doctor he is recognized as one of the best in the state. EHR is not in his future. Phones, fax, copier suit him just fine. The article that raised these questions for me ...

Interview with Sailesh Chutani, CEO, Mobisante
My first exposure to Mobisante and their disruptive diagnostic ultrasound system was the mHealth Summit in November of 2010.

I recently got Sailesh Chutani, co-founder and CEO of Mobisante, on the phone and we discussed their product strategy — a software based diagnostic ultrasound that runs on a variety of consumer electroni...
