Obama: EHRs for All in Five Years

"To improve the quality of our health care while lowering its costs,
we will make the immediate investments necessary to ensure that within
five years, all of America's medical records are computerized," Obama
said. "This will cut waste, eliminate red tape and reduce the need to
repeat expensive medical tests. But it just won't save billions of
dollars and thousands of jobs, it will save lives by reducing the
deadly but preventable medical errors that pervade our health care
system."

This MDRX connection is also reflected by the results of a recent poll
conducted by HealthcareIT News:

"People will be watching two guys from Chicago"

President-elect Barack Obama and CEO of the newly merged Allscripts-
Misys Healthcare Solutions Glen Tullman were voted the two leaders to
watch for healthcare IT advances. Obama and Tullman were neck-and-neck
on this score with few others mentioned."

There have been reports of Tulman consulting with Obama.

Just saying, MDRX is positioned to be a major player.
