health wonk review



Health Wonk Review

This week's Health Wonk Review is up, over at David Williams' Health

Business Blog.

My favorite item there is from Fard Johnmar, who writes in his Health

Care Vox blog that technology, marketing and social media are more

likely to transform healthcare than any politician.

I see I'm not the only one who noticed that we're now on our third

Congress since the Bush administration challenge of 2004, and I recall

exactly one significant health IT bill passed, the one that formalized

the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information

Technology. Am I forgetting anything else?

Meanwhile--and this is not from Health Wonk Review--new Leapfrog Group

CEO Leah Binder has been added as a keynote speaker for the Integrated

Healthcare Association's 2008 National Pay for Performance Summit.

That event is set for Feb. 27-29 in Los Angeles. You know, right

during the HIMSS conference in Orlando, where I and the rest of the

health IT universe will be. Nice planning.
