I am a huge proponenet but it is not a one size fits all solution for every practice. I repeatedly remind people in my life and career that we have lost sight of the real purpose of healthcare and that is caring for the patient. All our hoo haa about quality, quantity, cost, re-admission, ACO, PQRI, MU, PCMH!!! We are doing nothing but increasing the overhead of physician practices, overwhelming the caregivers with rules, regulations & reporting when what they need and want to be focusing on is their patients. Instead of improving & simplifying processes we are burying our caregivers with the business of healthcare. I am pretty sure this is not why our physicians went to med school! Let's focus on making & keeping people well.Meredith L.

Surely your health system still uses (archaic) legacy windows software like the rest of us. <br /><br />Also, have you tried giving keynote presentations from your phone with a VGA output cable? Horice Dedui from Asymco.com does this routinely.Suleman Bhana, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099201812045648925noreply@blogger.com
