In the 11th episode of the Healthcare IT Today podcast, Colin Hung and John Lynn discuss healthcare monopolies. This topic came on the heels of the announcement that the FTC had charged Surescripts for monopolistic ePrescribing practices.
Along with covering this news, we talk about what these charges mean for the healthcare industry and whether a monopoly is a good thing for healthcare interoperability.
In this episode, we also introduce a new segment called "Ask Colin and John Anything." We literally took whatever questions came from the audience and answered them. Some good ones on what Health IT trends are overhyped and the idea of patients included.
