TECH: Bloggers chasing own tails on EMR

Both the Health Care Law Blog and the Health Care IT Guy have follow ups on the long post here on EMRs and whether docs ever can love ‘em. I’ll say little more other than I feel a little like we’re in one of those Warner Bros cartoons where Tazzy is chasing his own tail….especially as this post now automatically appears over at Shahid Shah (The Health Care IT Guy)’s meta-HealthIT blog, the HITSphere….

But I’m not sure that I like Shahid’s take on my business model, and I’m not sure I like it either!

Isn’t the blogosphere and the Internet wonderful? It would take thousands of dollars and months to put together a focus group of professionals to get us this kind of input. Now, Matthew’s given it to us health IT guys for free. Thanks, Matthew

  2. Allan, given the success (er…lack of success) of EMRs in the healthcare world pretty, we can use pretty much any help we can get.
    Bob, as a lawyer I’m sure you only posed questions because you want to charge us about $790 per hour for the answers. 🙂 [kidding!]
    Matthew, your business model of “giving away” free analysis will work fine for a couple of years. Just like us dotcom dropouts from 1998 to 2001. Like that era we’ll all look for jobs after we run out of money giving away free advice!

  3. I’m not in the industry, so using me as an authoritative source would be amusing. However, if anyone needs assistance from a finance/telecom/strategy person who thinks he gets this stuff…
