A useful link for providers in the throes of implementing and adopting (I&A) EHR is the "Health Data Management Resource Guide Online." The Guide has more than 75 HIT categories from Analytics Software to Wireless Networks.

This demographic- if the link is correct- should have been reported since it is an important qualifier.
