Everything Fits
If you can’t believe the unbelievable about a pair of pants, why would you believe it about software? Yet businesses continue to purchase solutions based on what a salesperson tells them. I am not sure how to break it to you, but some salespeople exaggerate and omit pertinent information.

Extreme Makeover
Summer is the time for family reunions. People you have never met before come from every state in the union. Each family brings their own version of macaroni salad, different types of jello and you cannot forget the desserts. Family picture albums are spread across the tables with the history of your family displayed in chronochrome. The family similarity is astonishing even though you have never met these people you recognize similar traits in each of them. More…

The Headless Horseman
It's October already, where did the year go? It seems like just last week I was finishing my budget for the year, setting up focus points that I would need to concentrate on and preparing for the next step in our business growth. How did it get to October already? The month of all hallows eve, spooks and goblins, witches and black cats. It makes me think of the scariest story ever written. It was a tale that kept me awake many a night as my imagination ran away with me. Shadows danced on my bedroom wall and the sounds of the open countryside crept through the open windows along with the cool autumn air. I would pull the covers up close to my chin, so not to expose my neck. My fear was accentuated by my older siblings telling and retelling of the story of Ichabod Crane. More…
HITECH and the Stimulus Bill
The Obama Administration clearly expects every American to have an electronic medical record by 2014. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) stimulus package will drive substantial funding for health information technology (HIT) adoption over the next seven years. ARRA appropriates billions for HIT infrastructure and provides significant incentives for health care providers to adopt electronic health records (EHR). More…
A Primary Education
How great would it be if the whole world had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock every afternoon, then laid down with blankets for a nap? Putting things back and cleaning up our own messes would be another sound policy. And wouldn't it be nice if, no matter how old we get, we chose to hold hands and stick together? It turns out that the lessons of kindergarten are remarkably applicable to the HME world. More…
**Top Secret Extremely Confidential Information Enclosed**
I received several question this previous month about the recent changes in CMS and I knew immediately that there was only one way to answer the questions completely … TOOTSIE POPS yes TOOTSIE POPS. “How many licks to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop” Remember the commercial where the Owl would take the kids lollipop and count “one, two, three CRUNCH” That commercial came out in 1970 and the world has been mystified ever since.

Top Ten
I hope that everybody is as relieved as I am that the Hollywood writers strike is over. It has been unbearable, the pain and anguish that I went through trying to find fresh material. The Late Night hosts were completely shut down and I was stuck watching the reruns of the Late Night “Top Ten” over and over again. It was like I was stuck in the Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day”. I just kept reliving each day over and over again with no help of escaping. More…
