Still unknown.

I don't think any specifics have been made public yet so we don't know if he means just computerized records or computerized records plus point and click record creation by the provider without doing any dictation.
I think it's quite possible that what he has in mind is what the VA has been doing for several years which is computerized records plus point and click.
Other than being put out of work, my biggest concern is privacy/access/security breaches/hackers/insurance company spies/etc.

And for the most part, it's still unknown to most of America
The word needs to be spread.
unknown outsourcing issues
How can a small company be sure that an IC has a legitamate SS#, and how can we be sure that an IC does not outsource the work that we send them?
Previously unknown worm-like creatures made of
something like silicone. Supposedly the only match to this material has been made to some nanotechnology substance that is being used to destroy bacteria on meats, and soon to be used on cut fruits. Cooking kills them, but who cooks lunch meat? They are using it on cold cuts. The company making the technology won't say what big company is buying, either.
The term Morgellons is not new, but its use for this disease is new. This disease became known in I think 2004. That's pretty darn new.
And I should stress that I have not seen any worms or movement under my skin so far. I just have small nonhealing wounds (that look the same as a stage in Morgellons), and my MD is being evasive.
Unlisted number, caller ID, and block unknown callers.
I think it's *67 to block unknown callers and *69 to find out last unblocked caller. There is another key combination to press when you want the phone company and/or police department to trace nuisance calls. You can fight this. Public edcuators have it rough. First, no respect in the classroom, then these punk kids think they can mess with you at home. Fight back. Escalate it to police chief, mayor, and supervisor of the phone company if you're getting nowhere with the lowly peons.
Previously Unknown Prehistoric Species Discovered In Israel Cave
Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have announced today the discovery of eight previously unknown, ancient animal species within "a new and unique underground ecosystem in a cave near Ramle, Israel.
In a press conference on the Mt. Scopus campus of the Hebrew University, the researchers said the discovery came about when a small opening was found, leading to a cave extending to a depth of 100 meters beneath the surface of a quarry in the vicinity of Ramle, between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The quarry is operated by cement manufacturer Nesher Industries.
The cave, which has been dubbed the Ayalon Cave, is "unique in the world", said Prof. Amos Frumkin of the Hebrew University Department of Geography. This is due mainly to its isolation from the outside world, since the cave's surface is situated under a layer of chalk that is impenetrable to water. The cave, with its branches, extends over some 2½ kilometers, making it Israel's second largest limestone cave. It is to remain closed to the public to permit further scientific research.
The invertebrate animals found in the cave – four seawater and freshwater crustaceans and four terrestial species – are related to but different from other, similar life forms known to scientists. The species have been sent to biological experts in both Israel and abroad for further analysis and dating. It is estimated that these species are millions of years old. Also found in the cave were bacteria that serve as the basic food source in the ecosystem.
The animals found there were all discovered live, except for a blind species of scorpion, although Dr. Dimentman is certain that live scorpions will be discovered in further explorations and also probably an animal or animals which feed on the scorpions.
The underground cave includes an underground lake, in which the crustaceans were found. The lake is part of the Yarkon-Taninim aquifer, one of Israel's two aquifers, yet is different in temperature and chemical composition from the main waters of the aquifer. The lake's temperature and salinity indicates that its source is deep underground.
Among the interesting features of the discoveries thus far in the cave is that two of the crustaceans are seawater species and two others are of a types found in fresh or brackish water.
This can provide insights into events occurring millions of years ago regarding the history of ancient bodies of water in the region.
