Very refreshing and pragmatic attitude. Though some of us are trying to make technology more palatable to the grey-haired (or balding) practitioners as well, since many healthcare issues can't wait for the 2 year olds to grow up for a resolution. Check out what we've been up to here in Canada with respect to making EMRs more accessible and usable on devices such as iPads: http://www.coalese.com/products/raven/Raven_PaperPhysicians.html We've had EMTs in ambulances and ER staff accessing primary care EMR data on mobile devices for over two years now and more recently have been making huge strides in facilitating chronic disease management with our Metrics solution, which pretty much defines "meaningful use" in a pragmatic way. Keep up the great blog posts...breath of fresh air, IMO. “…loved your latest blog post. Very refreshing and pragmatic attitude.

As much as we like to believe children will cat differently, we model a great deal of our behavior on what we see and observe growing up. We establish norms based on what those we respect consider "right." That doesn't necessarily mean parents, but nearly everyone had a person in his life who was a parent figure. I think we're going to have to get everyone involved in HIT before it becomes a widespread, profitable enterprise, both in terms of finances and health.
