I am finalizing my preparations for my podcasts.  I am debating on whether I want to do the podcast monthly or every two weeks.  I want the quality to be there, and not just putting a bunch of nonsensical muse that does no one any good.

I also would like to know who you, the listener, want to hear from.  I can have guest speakers and interviews via telephone…but I want to be sure it is someone in our industry that you are interested in hearing.  Some ideas of who I am considering are (note: none of these are confirmed, just ideas):

Jared Peterson, VP of Research Operations for KLAS; John Wade, HIMSS Chair; Jim Pesce, Vice President and General Manager, McKesson Provider Technologies - Paragon; P. Jon White, MD - Health IT Portfolio Manager, HHS; Joe Nunez, HHS Region 8 Regional Director; David Rosenbaum, Editor of CIO Magazine; Pam Pure, President of McKesson Provider Technologies; Howard Messing, President and COO of MEDITECH; Jack Walker, President and CEO - EHospitalConsulting; Matt Campbell, Managing Director of U.S. Healthcare and Life Sciences Group for Microsoft; Peter Altabef, President and CEO of Perot Systems; Burt Zimmerly, CFO of Intermountain Healthcare; Chris Sullivan, Director of Health Industry Solutions for Microsoft Corporation; Joel French, Vice President of Motion Computing, Inc. Healthcare Division; Joe Petro, SVP of Product Development for Eclipsys.

Again, these are just some of my initial ideas that I have out there, but I really want to hear from you.  Please add your comments to this blog and let me know what you think.
