One interesting aspect of the transition is that often its the young core companies that seem to have the biggest impact.

And when we think about technology touching the health industry electronic medial records (EMR’s) are the first thing that comes to mind.

According to the New England Journal Of Medicine only about 1.5% of US hospitals have the electronic medical records in place.

Now there’s Practice Fusion  a back up start up that has recently sold over 25 million units of its electronic medical records.
