Something very funny happened with this poll. When there were about 80 - 100 responses it was OVERWHELMINGLY leaning towards LESS THAN EXPECTED. Now it is 240 to 250?
What gives?

This is like asking, in 1905, "To what extent has radio benefited you? More than you expected? Less than expected?"

I'm not crazy about how the question+answers are written. "Have you stopped beating your wife?" comes to mind. If you say "less than expected," (regardless of whether your expectations were very high) the poll results look like CW isn't doing anything to benefit patients. If you say "more than expected," it indicates you didn't expect it to do much to begin with. I like the fact that CW is showing steady progress in addressing some of the hardest issues in interoperability. I also like the fact that they opened up the ability for patients to initiate their own record search earlier this year.

It would be most accurate for me to vote "Exactly as I expected - which was very little." CommonWell was never going to work - it was a political and business tactic.
