In September our minds turn away from summer vacations and long warm days to thoughts of back to school, rededication to long work days, and FOOTBALL. Whether you are a fan of high school, college, or the pros weekends will soon be filled with games featuring your favorite teams.
As I listen, read, and absorb all of the information and speculation on the ARRA HITECH legislation, and the debates surrounding the definition of those crazy words “meaningful use,” some questions come to mind in juxtaposition with football!
- What costs more: the new Cowboys stadium or the HITECH portion of ARRA?
- Which are worth more: NFL TV contracts or ARRA incentives?
- Does pre-season football camp remind you in any way of HIMSS?
- Which are more complicated: the rules in the NFL rule book or the CCHIT rules?
- Who is their team’s projected MVP: Tom Brady or David Blumenthal?
- Which produce more revenue for their institutions: BCS football teams or university medical centers?
So, as we all continue to learn more about “meaningful use” send us your comments and questions regarding the definition debate AND the meaning of football or post your own questions on the VCS Blog.
