		<title>Engage, with grace.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last year, The Health Care Blog started Engage With Grace, asking you to take a moment over the Thanksgiving weekend to discuss your desires for how to live the end of your life as meaningfully as possible.  If you would like to reproduce this post on your blog (or anywhere), you can base your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Losing everything.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My mother passed away on April 18.  I still have no words, but I have to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who has shared kind words and warm thoughts.  It has meant so much more to me over the past few days than you can imagine.  From the bottom of my [...]]]></description>

		<title>WellPoint&#8217;s challenge.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Angela Braly has a tough job.  She became chief executive of WellPoint in early 2007.  Right out of the gate she had to fire her chief financial officer due to &#8220;misconduct unrelated&#8221; to the company.  Not long thereafter, the economy began crumbling, taking an especially heavy toll on health insurers, like WellPoint. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Glen Tullman gets it.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When I look around healthcare information technology, I see silos.  I find software that gets in the way of productivity.  I see technology that is not as reliable or as efficient as it should and could be.  When I try to think of companies that are actively working to change that&#8230;  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Purkinje: growing.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
(originally posted on November 11, 2008 at 09:55)
Quick.  Name one company that does electronic health record software as a service.  You might be forgiven for thinking first of those folks in Watertown, but this time I&#8217;m talking about Purkinje, that healthcare information technology company with dual citizenship (its based in St. Louis and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A whole new Vieue.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Let&#8217;s talk about Vieue.
About a year ago, I finally put together one list of some of the ideas at the intersection of healthcare and information technology that I had been collecting for a while.  I shared those ideas with a few friends, and the concepts that survived the sounding board were clarified, revised, and [...]]]></description>

We need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.  Maya Angelou
Last summer, Create West Virginia was, well, created to highlight and promote creativity, technology, and forward thinking to help bring together West Virginians to advance our economy, our quality of life, and opportunities [...]]]></description>

		<title>I lie awake and pray.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Update: A lot can happen in a week.  On Monday, my mother&#8217;s pulmonary specialist said he believed her condition was worsening and that she would likely need skilled nursing permanently.  Given her advance directives, this was not good news to hear.  I ended up having to argue with the specialist in order [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Future: Aflac and Workscape.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I really enjoyed thinking out loud, last week, about the pioneering role athenahealth and TriZetto are playing in moving healthcare forward.  I liked it so much, in fact, that I might make a habit out of it.  This time around, I&#8217;m thinking, out loud, about Aflac and Workscape, and their role in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Future: athenahealth and TriZetto.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sometime in late 2004, I started taking note of this interesting, little (but growing) enterprise out of Massachusetts called athenahealth.  I became interested in the company, with its lack of capitalization and spacing, after it got (what I believe was) its first mention on HIStalk.  Naturally, Tim couldn&#8217;t pass up the opportunity to [...]]]></description>
