The 21st Century has shown rapid development of health IT, health reform, and big data analytics. This is only the beginning of disruptive technology. I prefer to call it "Catalytic Innovation". Catalytic innovatin more accurately describes what is happening. Yes, the inbred system of health care is being forced to change for economic reasons and in the effort to improve health outcomes. Initially it is disruptive, and that has been a main reason for some providers to hesitate. Coercion by the HHS and CMS are playing an unwanted role in an otherwise professional area. I see no indication of a slowing of the process
