  Medical Practice Trends.com — Authority: 98
  If you talk to anyone who is involved in the electronic medical records (EMR) industry, one of the biggest points of discussion is what is known as “Meaningful Use of EMR.” What started as a well-intentioned (by some) effort to establish standards for EMR software systems has morphed into political jockeying by ...
