Crypto Breach at Hospital, EHR Customization, and Some EHR Humor – Twitter Roundup

It had been a while since we did a Twitter roundup. So many interesting, entertaining, and insightful things are shared. We decided to keep this one light but valuable. We hope you enjoy the Twitter roundup and some of our own added commentary.

Yes it would be like an episode of the resident. Multiple codes a day. @CaitlynMooneyMD
