NYT: Tech Companies Push to Digitize Patients’ Records

The New York Times has another great article about the gold rush from tech companies to get in on the action for EMR’s. You can read it at http://bit.ly/2uguWU.

But the real nugget is in the middle of the article:

What is needed, experts agree, are new models of delivery and easier-to-use technology to reduce the expense and technical headaches. The proposed offerings are typically bets on the new Internet-based service model, known as cloud computing, in which much of the computing firepower and data reside in remote data centers, which doctors, nurses and staff would use via the Web browsers on their personal computers.

As the kids would say “duuu-uh.”
