		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been curious about the US health care system, particularly in terms of how it is similar and different with the Canadian system. Last night, I had a chance to experience the US system first-hand. A few of us went out for dinner and on our way back home, one of the members slipped [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s an interesting view on an apparent lack of visionary, inspirational leadership in the computer industry. The author wonders why no other computer company, let along [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not sure if this is news to people regularly involved in IT, but securing the increasing amounts of electronic health information will be a major issue as organizations move to adopt electronic health records (EHRs). The scary thing is that the perception is that health care organizations are behind the current best practices (yet again) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was doing some exercises Monday night and I tweaked my wrist during a moment when I lost my focus (and balance). After a night of discomfort and pain, I decided to try and see my doctor to rule out anything serious. I did some searching on the internet and found a good article titled [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t get me wrong, the content itself was pretty much straight forward in that it provides advice on how to increase revenues. But, what I&#8217;m trying to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, I noticed a series of advertisements being played repeatedly promoting GE Healthymagination. The ads themselves were fairly well done and seemed to do a good job of conveying the message that GE is serious about health care and about being an innovation leader. Each time I watched the ad, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s interesting to see how differently ehealth is viewed by academics and industry.  To one, ehealth is the potential of using new mediums to explore ideas and possibilities, while to the other, ehealth is more of a means to an end. For the past few years, I&#8217;ve been in the academic world exploring the limits [...]]]></description>
