EHR Stimulus: Missing the Forest for All Those Trees?

Thanks to EMR Daily News for posting notice. This is the best single post/article that sums up where we are today with the ARRA and push toward EHR. Anyone else think we’re missing the forest for all those damn trees? It sure would have been a lot easier to first develop the infrastructure for an “information exchange” then watch the free market (eg, the software vendors) quickly build to support that exchange. Instead, we are focusing on what buttons need to appear on a computer program sitting in the physicians office. Ug.
