According to vista, it will take me roughly 121 years to copy a few files from my dvd drive.
But for some reason, the math dont make sense to me.

Adam Bosworth Leaves Google...
Looks like HealthCare is a different beast altogether.
Adam leaving might not have as much to do with the complexity of the business for all you know.
But one thing is for sure - HealthCare is not for the faint hearted. It takes tremendous amount of grit and patience to succeed (if there is something like success in healthcare). The most effective driver for success in heatlhcare IT is not money. Its the motivation to do good.
So i wonder if businesses traditionally geared towards making money and doing good by the shareholders can be successful in thinking deeper about patients and their well being.
The government?
Hospitals and care providers (who ultimately have a business to run)?
Corporations that develop HealthCare systems ?
Physicians ?
Payers / Insurance Companies?
It seems to me like increasing patient safety, improving patient experience, betterment of treatment outcomes and reduction in expenses are all a by product of the way all of the above work towards achieving their own goals.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people out there working their butts off thinking about the real issues in healthcare. The likes represented by of HISTalk, Dr. Crounse, and numerous other voices in blogosphere. Hopefully the movement will continue and break the shackles of traditional business models to provide pervasive solutions which really do good.
