I have seen the TV ads and this drew me in turn to the web site.

If you are tracking progress regarding the Electronic Health (or Medical) Record you should check out this site for the promotion ideas contained therein.

I await the day where we see this community embrace concepts of collaboration more formally – the Record is necessary but not sufficient. Collaboration in the system – across health care providers and groups is essential in making the system more effective and efficient.

It is worth reading along with the sidebar article highlighting Newt Gingrich’s Health-Care Mission.

In a nutshell, this article provides links to research and cases where the promise of electronic health has not been realized. It is always good to see the other side.
