Tom,

I just listened to your podcast interview with Ann Rockley. Thank you for making this available. My proposal writing team is taking initial steps into CMS, so I shared some of Ann’s comments on factors leading to implementation failure.

I’m a member of the Orange County STC (California).

Keep up the great service.
