| HIMSS10: Party Like It’s 1999 (19 comments) HIMSS in many ways reminds me of the opening of the summer Olympics in China. It is a spectacle intended for the largest vendors to show their power and might with over the top booths, expansive exhibit floor square footage, extravagant entertainme [...] |  Paraclete 2010-03-17 03:33:00 |

| Monday Morning Update 3/8/10 (2 comments) I read that March 7 – March 13 is Patient Safety Awareness Week (PSAW) Let’s hope the HIMSS EHRVA vendors remember this as they peddle their product(s) to hospitals and physician practices.

| Monday Morning Update 3/1/10 (8 comments) I [Sen.
