Kyle Samani Google Glass in Healthcare

How Will The Primary Care Model Evolve in 2015

Most don’t really care much one way or the other. After all, health care has been evolving and changing over thousands of years, and the experts best positioned to evaluate the health care turmoil of our times are yet to be born. Those of us who are now in the eye of the storm have an understandable tendency to analyze high velocity changes,

by Edmund Billings MD 12/09/2014 1 Comment

Can Public APIs Unlock True Health IT Interoperability?
