I like the rhetoric of his statement, but I’d like to see more action too.
CONSUMERISM will help balance cost, quality and access.

It’s interesting that they’re fans of consumerism. I know that many in healthcare don’t like to think of patients as consumers. They have good reasons for not wanting the comparison and it’s worthwhile to consider the difference. Plus, it’s worth noting that in our current system patients don’t really act like consumers. That’s why I think it’s true that consumerism is hitting healthcare.

I love plays on words. I’m going to have to chew on this one a bit more though.

Click on this image to blow it up. It definitely illustrates how important the EHR is, but also that the other health IT systems are important as well.
Here's the FUTURE of radiology, as per Jeff Immelt, CEO of GE.

This is my favorite tweet. I saved it for the end so only the most faithful readers would get to see it. I’m not an expert on radiology, but this provides an interesting roadmap for some of the things that happening in radiology.
