New York Times: medical community a decade behind

The Gray Lady of Gotham City writes today that the medical community’s technology is a decade behind, calling health care providers “laggards” when updating their computers.

At least the medical community is growing, unlike the newspaper world. We’ll see whose computers are still running a decade from now.

Anyway, the link below to the story makes some interesting points when talking to clients on their needs. The $19 billion in stimulus money to create electronic medical records will shift health care into more of computer-oriented tasks, which is good news for you if joining the revolution and expanding your services. They more they need, the more you should do.
