In this weeks show, in addition to our typical discussion around current news, we have Rick Hodge, Executive Vice President at InfoLogix on with us to discuss various mobility solutions in healthcare.

Continue reading »]]> 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.
