Case: Dr. David Nelson is the managing partner in a small clinic practice located in southern California. He and his eight partners have been exploring the benefits of participating in the federal meaningful use incentives that would mean collecting tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for implementing an electronic health record to replace their existing paper files. Dr. Nelson is concerned at the cost of adding sophisticated technology into the overall management responsibilities, as well as the ability to find and retain expensive IT support staff sufficiently knowledgeable and available to meet their needs. Dr. Nelson attends the annual HIMSS conference where he has the opportunity to speak to a large number of vendors and peers about options available to him, and has returned from the conference convinced that the optimal approach for him and his partners is to purchase a cloud computing "Software as a Service" solution.
