The mean-sided part of us says 1 in 6 doesn’t think their electronic health record software will meet the 2011 deadline, according to a federal government-funded report of 1,400 health care providers.

Meanwhile, who knows how many of the positive ones really won’t be working. Quite a few we suspect, meaning the real number is [...]

Hello, are you there? The line was silent for a moment before the business owner said [...]

Karen couldn’t understand why letters to doctors requesting a chance to show her medical billing abilities received no response.
We took a look. Uh, they were so poorly written that health care providers, who are college graduates, didn’t take her seriously. Even one misspelled word can turn off someone with a graduate school degree.
