Each day in healthcare, data becomes more valuable, more useful, and more important to a healthcare organization.  It’s easy to see that the future of healthcare rests on the back of data.  The problem is that data in and of itself isn’t useful.  To really make a difference in healthcare, we need clean, usable data […] (Source: EMR and HIPAA)
