Different firms target different needs and you will need to have a very clear idea of objectives prior to engaging. Drop me a line at john at chilmarkresearch dot com and maybe I can assist as at one time I headed up analyst relations and have a good read on capabilities, culture etc. JoJo, regarding your search for a good market research/analyst firm – that’s a tough one as it all depends on what you hope to get from the relationship.

As I used to say promoting Cloverleaf: the nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. While interoperability come a long ways, it seems to this somewhat removed observer that it has a long way to go and most of that is caused by how fundamentally different in content, structure, type and periodicity great batches of clinical data can be. On the second point, does *anyone* really, truly think people are the best managers of their patient data when to date, americans are very poor managers of their own health (from which said data is derived)?

UT Medical has not had a structured training program for the EMR and as such there is varied use of the application across the organization. The intent is to use online simulators and practice scenarios for learning. Breakaway has worked with other applications for online simulations - practice management, RIS, etc. The goal for completion of the modules is December 2008.
