I ran across an interesting article about Indiana Health IT driving Economic Stimulus. See :
http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=T&ct=us/0-0&fd=R&url=http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl%3FACCT%3D104%26STORY%3D/www/story/01-28-2009/0004961987%26EDATE%3D&cid=1298199546&ei=G4eASbD6GIbElQT254H-AQ&usg=AFQjCNG2ZTF8PbhV92mvleOLxFemAiBcTg
It's pretty interesting that Central Indiana is considered a leader in Health IT. I think much of this has to do with the Internet Service Indiana providers that facilitate high speed broadband connectivity to many of the Health providers. Typically in the past T1 circuits were typically used, but now 10, 100, and Gigabit Ethernet circuits are becoming common to connect health care providers. This is necessary to due the large amount of data that medical imaging requires and access that remotely connected physicians need to access it. Many of the medical providers in Indiana WAN are being moved to data centers to provide business continuity to facilitate always on connectivity 24x7x365. The cost of high speed broadband in central Indiana is helping to facilitate the exchange of information to improve health information exchange.
