By Lesli Adams, MPA Director, Oracle Healthcare Business Intelligence   Blue or Red? Doesn’t matter.  It’s a question I get asked daily when I talk about Healthcare Consulting, Technology, and oh yeah, Clinical Measurement.  Over 2 years ago, when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act  (PPACA) was signed into law, my industry went off […]
