In future posts of the series, I'll list aspects of HITECH that are reasons for canine optimism. Peter, thanks for your good words. I'll hope you continue to contribute -- this should be just the start of an important dialogue about innovation.

We certainly have some haevy rain in HC & IT right now. Vince, as always you are on the ball. What the US Healthcare industry & HC IT really need is new thinking about how to harness technology to improve efficiency & effectiveness in providing diagnosis, treatment and payment processing methods, not just more $ thrown at the mess we have today.

Certified EHR Technology: $17 Billion Everything else: $0 How does this work out to 60/40? Looks to me like 100% cats. This isn't going to do anything for the kind of innovation we need to improve the quality and efficiency of health care. It's the same as the rest of our health care system. Throw more money into the same system. Are they expecting something different to happen? The usual result is the cost of health care increases, corporations get rich and doctors have to work harder. The information is only useful if it uses standards and can be communicated. There is no money for data exchange standards and implementation.
