Where the Wild Things Are: The Internet of Things
A look at the Internet of Things (IoT) — what it is, how it came to be, where it’s headed and what that means for healthcare.
Stage 2: Ready or Not Here it Comes
Dr. Terry Ketchersid takes a deeper dive into the Stage 2 meaningful use objectives and looks at what they mean for nephrologists.
A Lesson in Changing Perspective: Opting Out of MU?
Reconciling your role as nephrologist with the meaningful use requirements can be challenging. The hardship exception could change everything.

Thank you for sharing considerations that are pertinent to EHRs and dialysis on the blog! I have enjoyed reading many of the posts, especially “Weddings and EHRs.” It brought a uniquely personal point of view to the adoption and use of EHRs.

As a practice manager I particularly appreciate the blogs and articles. It is impossible at times to keep up with all of the changes and to decipher CMS the blog site is my favorite way to look for answers and see what others are doing. I particularly liked the blog regarding changing perspective and opting out of MU2. It is positive to see sometimes we do have options. Keep up the good work, I know this is time consuming for those that do it, know it is worth it.
