Michelle McNickle of HealthcareITnews.com posed an interesting and fun question - What are your top 10 wishes for health IT in 2012? She asked Dr. Wendy Whittington, a pediatrician and chief medical officer at Antheilo Healthcare Solutions, and this was her resonse:

1. A greater emphasis placed on the federal health IT strategic plan
2. The emergence of more affordable solutions for healthcare systems and hospitals to attain meaningful use
3. Real interoperability and not just "lip service" interoperability of our health IT systems
4. A better health IT "roadmap"
5. The optimization of EHRs
6. Less whining about going to ICD-10 and smarter planning about how to get there
7. More innovation across all of healthcare but mainly health IT
8. A shift to patient-centered care and population health
9. Value out of big data in healthcare
10. The expansion of telehealth principals into the wellness space
