Welcome, Nic!
I found a blog post by you on thehealthcareblog that I was impresed by. EMR and meaningful issues are some of the things I address in my own blog, medicineforreal.wordpress.com. As a praticing anesthesiologist I see the pros and cons of EMR on a daily basis. My blog seeks to acquaint the average patient with the vagaries of the health care system and how they can make it work for them. The intersection of law and medicine is a key part of that discussion. Thanks
