<Shock and Awe>

I too, have served the healthcare, manufacturing and distribution businesses 
for a long time. I've found comparable 'business 
acumen' in all three, with 'the usual' variations between companies in the same 
line of business.

I don't think you can paint "healthcare" as having any less - or any more - 
'business acumen'  than any other industry.

That said, I've seen a number of "supply chain EDI experts"  get into 
healthcare EDI, only to discover an '837' Claim/Encounter  is 
*NOT* just another form for the 810/811 invoice and the 835 healthcare 
remittance is *NOT* just another form of the 820 commercial 
remittance advice - Different applications altogether.

So ...  you might say you can find less 'business acumen'  among those who call 
themselves "Healthcare EDI guys"  than among the 
"Supply Chain EDI Guys."
