EHR Adoption Remains Off in the Distance – Getting way to complicated

The comment below from a vendor is interesting, as he comments on the fact that a physician can make an extra $125,000 in 5 years, well some family care practice doctors today in California would like to just be making that in one year, as all the recent contracts with insurance companies are getting...
