The English origins of the pudding proverb date back to the early 14th century. The tasting of an item was meant in the general sense to test or try something—to know how good a food item was, you had to taste it. The first version specifically using pudding was in 1605 from William Camden’s Remaines of a Greater Worke, Concerning Britaine. His version was,“All the proofe of a pudding, is in the eating.” Of course, back then pudding was not a sweet dessert but likely a savory sausage of meat and seasonings. If not cooked properly, it could have been fatal.

On Feb. 29, 2016, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that multiple major health information technology (IT) developers, providing more than 90 percent of U.S. electronic health records (EHRs), have pledged to improve interoperability of their EHR systems. Many other stakeholders, such as hospital systems and professional organizations, have also signed the pledge. HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell announced this wonderful pledge during the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society convention in Las Vegas.

Great, wonderful, exciting…
