One new update from one vendor caught my eye.
How would it be nice to see your doctor's grade?

"Athenahealth has launched a new online dashboard to provide clear visibility into the performance of physicians on the athenahealth network against meaningful use criteria.The regularly-updated dashboard offers insight into how the thousands of providers currently participating in athenahealth’s reimbursement program are progressing toward meeting Medicare meaningful use measures. Through its cloud-based EHR, with providers sharing a single instance of software, athenahealth has a real-time view into how its providers are performing, enabling the company to identify client pain points and focus its array of client services on addressing these challenges for all clients on the network."
The only issue is how the performance is measured. As long as the definition of measurement are clear and concise, it will help us hold physicians "accountable" in taking care of their patients (proper diagnosis, time waiting, repeat visits, etc.)
