In the past 6 months, we have had a substantial number of new practice EMR software installations in this geographical area - and we are a west coast based vendor so it's been an marked change. Interestingly, I'm also finding increased marketing interest among our customer base in the area to reach prospecitive patients via new websites, newsletters, etc. in light of increased competition. I, for one, find it refreshing that physicians in this area are treating their practices like real businesses that need to (rightly so) be focusing on patient safety and interoperability (via EMRs), and patient satisfaction (via websites, online accessibility, and patient portals). Two thumbs up for capitalism and competition!

This issue - and there are two sides to it - should be left out of the movies. C'mon! I don’t like ads in movie theaters and now there will be “tort reform” spots? This issue – and there are two sides to it – should be left out of the movies. C’mon!
