From the Blogosphere

• the most important change agent will be the
  emergence by 2010 of a generation of clinicians
  who have grown up taking for granted that IT is a
  communications and knowledge management medium

  and little tolerance for our ongoing struggles
  with the mundane data processing and integration
  issues that so dominate our generation's view of
  IT our budgets life energies."
