I have been distracted for the past several years as CEO of a start-up called Trust.MD, so have failed to keep up with my blog. It has been an interesting ride, and I found I enjoyed the CEO role.

Just the same, the role sapped all my attention. I learned first-hand with a start-up that there is always at least one more thing to do -- potential sales contact, administrative item, meeting to plan. I cannot recall q time I pushed back from the table and said "I am done, for now".

It has also been interesting in the Health IT marketplace right in the middle of the 2012 election, where one side wanted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and then through the implementation. The whole industry is spinning, trying to guess where things will go next and trying to build capabilities quickly in these complex ecosystems.

I will be sharing some of my experiences and lessons learned in upcoming blog posts.
