In a pressurized policy environment, health IT experts give their takes on the mound of federal mandates the industry is facing on the journey that will transform the U.S. healthcare system

I would be hard to dispute that the health IT industry is in the thick of an exciting journey that will transform the U.S. healthcare system. As we shift from a feefor-service-based payment system to one that rewards value-based care, plenty of initiatives are on healthcare organizations' plates, such as meaningful use.

By D’Arcy Guerin Gue



Unless you are living under a rock, you are well aware that there has been a documented case of Ebola in the United States. That patient, who unfortunately did not recover from his illness, was infected in Africa. By the time he’d been diagnosed, he had potentially exposed a large number of people he interacted with, including a number of people on his flights back to Dallas. Another serious virus is currently making its way across the United States, enterovirus D68, which has infected 628 people in 44 states.

In addition, the expansion of disease surveillance and management is global not just something for the United States.
