If you click on Forrester Research’s  FirstLook Archive you’ll see their predictions for next year and some other interesting stuff. They think this will be the year of the EMR (or at least the start of its mainstream appearance) and of the elderly getting wired to their providers. Knowing something about how to make lousy predictions myself, I wouldn’t put too much stock in this "big for next year" stuff. But at least they’ve lost the rhetoric about Why Doctors Hate The Net, which remains the research report in health care with the lowest ever "research validity to press column inches" ratio.
