“Give a prospect a plate of pulled pork and a beer and he will listed to what you have to say.”

Or as we say in the Free Will Baptist Church, “If you feed them they will come.” Of course, being baptists, we’re more likely to offer sweet tea.

Glad you’re back and rearing to go Mr. HISTalk! And I didn’t realize the meaningful use rapper was the same virtuoso who gave us the HITECH Interoperetta (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv1s8fM3mMk). I’d read some sources that cited you as the singer.

Re: Meaningful Yoose Rap – would love to see a written copy of the lyrics. Some of this was hard to understand on the video.

“Speaking of FDA, it has set up a network of 350 hospitals and asked them to report problems with systems such as CPOE, EHRs, pharmacy systems, PACS, and others ”

Better late than never. It seems that the FDA is asking the hospitals to violate their contracts with the vendors. With hospitals being rewarded as handsomely as they are by the HIT vendors to keep defects hushed, it is unlikely that the hospitals will report. A dear doctor letter to the users will be more likely to hit the sweet spot of the truth.
