November 3, 2007
This is a quote from Bill Crounse, MD, of Microsoft reflecting on his recent experiences at internet conferences and tracking HIT trends. He notes the high expectations of consumers which have transformed other businesses beyond bricks and mortar. He cites leading institutions that are both payor and provider, like Group Health Cooperative which have also exploited the Internet.
On a related note, speaking of leadership, don’t miss the presentation by C. Martin Harris, MD, MBA, from the Cleveland Clinic at the HIMSS Virtual Conference next week on “eEnabled Medical Practice”. One of the leading forward-looking thinkers in Health IT, Dr. Harris will cover “office based work flow, clinical decision support, health maintenance management and protocol management.”
