Thanks for the EXTREMELY informative blog!

You are correct about Health IT and its effect on quality care, but the tools must be simple to use (little to no training), immediately effective (outcomes/efficiency) and be affordable to all physicians. 

Hospitals/PHOs with LOTS of money to throw at the problem can pay for/digest large EMR/DS/CPOE/Etc. systems, but the VAST majority of physicians treating patients in a preventive or chronic mode have little nothing in place.  The moth-to-light-like focus our industry has on digitizing the office and deploying EMRs everywhere is a red herring. 

Why not focus on simple tools that show immediate efficacy/ROI and are affordable to all physicians rather than trying to FORCE doctors to change how they practice medicine?

Thanks again for all your work!
