"The time has come to put the medical clipboard out of business and replace it with the computer. In doing so, we can transform our health care system so that we achieve fewer medical mistakes, lower costs, better care, and less hassle. We all agree transformation must take place; now let’s all agree to work together to do it.

An entrepreneur I admire said, "There are three ways to handle change. You can fight it and die; accept it and survive; or, lead it and prosper."

This is the United States of America. I say, let's lead and prosper."

Mike Leavitt, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary;
