How many times have you been at a conference, listening to some panel, when all of a sudden someone says something that snaps you out of your stupor and you think, “Who *is* <\/strong>that guy?” (And if you’re lucky enough to remember Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, please enjoy the following rendition of that feeling.)<\/p>\n

That happened to me most recently at the mHealth Summit<\/a> and the guy was Matt Wiggins<\/a> of Remedy Systems, which has developed a prescription routing app<\/a> that works with SureScripts.
