Jane Sarasohn Kahn tries to sort out chaos and creation in the Health IT Market. JSK “remains hopeful” that the market will sort it all out. I’d say she was from the Planet Pluto, but it’s not one anymore. (Ho, Ho) Seriously, she lays out a whole host of reasons why the government “push” for IT has perhaps been overstated by the analysts as a factor for market growth, and knowing JSK as I do, reading between her lines, she’s quietly crying bullshit. On the other hand, I do think that the automation of the smaller hospitals due to the labor shortage is a bigger factor than the mainstream analysts seem to think. So there will be some creation, but still lots and lots of chaos.
