Today’s show starts out with some awesome music from an artist I just heard of and purchased his latest album after listening to a song on the radio in the rental Mustang in Kauai.  You can find more of his music at http://www.jasonmraz.com.

Listen to today’s show for the latest news and events in health IT and observations made between the healthcare and the airline industries.

In this week’s show, we discuss some discussion surrounding inpatient clinical documentation, and also discuss Strategic vs. Tactical IT planning.  The value of the inpatient clinical documentation discussion is likely dated, since this podcast was originally published on February 2, 2008, but some of the concepts about how to consider hardware likely still has some value in the world of EHRs and Meaningful Use now in 2011.  Likewise, the Strategic vs. Tactical planning discussion is still relevant for leaders, regardless of the year we are in.

Thank you for listening.  The next show, which will be posted on February 16, 2008 will feature an interview with the research company KLAS.  KLAS is a research company that independently monitors vendor performance through active participation with healthcare organizations.  I have participated with KLAS for a number of years, and I hope you will find this interview helpful to you.
