Every week MedCity News highlights the best of its MedCitizens: syndication partners and MedCity News readers who also contribute to MedCityNews.com. The MedCitizens are sponsored by MyPRGenie, the only Do-It-Yourself, PR platform and news wire that gives you access to more than 540,000 journalist contacts.

Now here’s the best of what YOU had to say.

  • Clarifying Meaningful Use rules and health IT. Here’s something to help all stakeholders who want to better understand the latest HIT regulations.
  • Inside the NIH grant review process (aka. Catch 22). “What gave me tremendous concern however is the catch 22 that exists. There needs to be innovation in a grant but innovation often means little evidence from others. If you do new stuff, that by definition means others have not done it. Without evidence from others there is concern re performance ability and that leads to difficulty funding. So why be innovative? Do what others have done; others tend to be the experts making decisions anyway.”
  • Cook Medical: From past to present to future. “In a wide-ranging chat, Rob Lyles filled us in on the company’s start, the impact of gift bans, 510(k) reform and the medical device excise tax and what’s new for his division.”
  • Big government = big innovation? It is possible. “While it’s true that in general innovation thrives in small, private, entrepreneurial organizations rather than big government bureaucracies, the only real hope to bend the health care cost curve in this country lies with CMS.”
