Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) may chair the State Alliance for e-Health, but that doesn't mean he's cutting the industry pass. Bredesen is fed up with health IT's slow, gradual progress toward interoperability. He'd like to see people stop holding seminars and pilot testing, pick a focus area--say, e-prescribing--and knock it out of the park. (Bonus: Check out a podcast interview with Gov. Bredesen by insider health IT blogger Neil Versel.) Article
