Did you say 200 million blogs?

Did you know that the Internet hosts over 200 million blogs? Better have something worthwhile to say, right? I’m glad you found your way to EMRlogic Live and promise to make your time with us thought provoking at least. My colleagues and I contend to be thought leaders in eye care EHRs for the health care reform era. We’ve taken what some call a revolutionary approach to EHRs. What does that mean? Why have we done it? This blog is about sharing where we believe we (and you) are going in eye care.

As we get launched here, a few things need to be acknowledged. One, you don’t need more news. You can go to Twitter for that. Two, you don’t need a sales guy masking as a blogger. Disclosure: I was a sales guy, for the past 10 years. I was also a teacher for 20 years before that. Today, I’m passionate about the dialog and the thinking around which you make decisions about your business. What I really want to do is challenge your thinking … in the hope you’ll make the best decisions for your eye care practice. Three, I’m not alone. While I’ll be the primary blogger, I won’t be writing as an island unto myself. Some of my colleagues are a lot smarter than I am, and I’ll be counting on their expertise. Dr. Jim Grue and Dr. Chuck Haine will be my two main SMEs but I’ll pull in others as well. And that includes you, of course, since the welcome mat is out for guest contributors and reply posts alike.



So, join, follow and participate. You can expect:

• Discussions relevant to your business, focused on the eye care profession.
• Field perspectives from Subject Matter Experts and veteran practitioners.
• Conversations about the role of EHRs in the transformation of health care.
• Commentaries on current events in Health Care Reform.
• Insights into the big picture of Connected Care – HIEs, RECs, ACOs, the Medical Home, and so on.
• Challenges for you as a business leader and for the eye care profession as a participant in health care reform.
