Show 121 – Express Scripts Gets an Extortion Letter

On today’s show, I go through our typical overview of some of the most pressing stories that have the potential to affect what is happening in the world of healthcare IT, and I talk a bit about what recently happened to Express Scripts and the attempt to extort money from the company as their patient data is potentially held hostage.

Finally, when you listen to the podcast you will find that my wife Coryee and I are about to embark on a new adventure in Bethel, Alaska where we will be working for the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation.  Also, the ending music for the podcast is provided courtesy of Kate MacLeod, a wonderful artist out of Utah.  If you like her music, you can find more of it at her website at www.katemacleod.com.

Since we will be moving to Alaska over the next couple of months, I am not sure when I will have the next podcast online. I promise to make it available as soon as I possibly can. I will be checking emails and managing posts to this blog from my laptop, so please keep in touch! I can’t wait to share some pictures of what we are going to be experiencing in Alaska.

Thank you for listening.
