Do you remember when that college president or dean gathered all of the incoming freshman into an auditorium and said these words “Now, look to your left and look to your right - one of you won’t be here in 4 years … because our graduation rate is 2/3 of our matriculation rate.”?

The Washing Post recently ran an article titled "The Machinery Behind Health-Care Reform: How an Industry Lobby Scored a Swift, Unexpected Victory by Channeling Billions to Electronic Records". The industry lobby mentioned in the sub-title is HIMSS ( Health Information and Managements Systems Society) and the article strongly implied some kind of impropriety on the part of HIMSS, the Obama administration and/or certain thought-leaders in the EHR movement.
