Formed in January 1998, it brought together more than 25 health institutions and merged their operations to achieve economies of scale. The company has spent a cool $100 million just installing new computers in its facilities to get state-of-the-art performance--and cost-saving efficiencies. Has the network got its money's worth?

...Wall Street now. And the record is just a poker chip. And these, you know, artists are going willingly into the slaughter." There are, however, a few things she likes. "Most of my favorite artists are black," says Mitchell, who admires James Brown, Etta James and Duke Ellington. "All modern music is black." She also has nothing but praise for Janet Jackson's song Got 'Til It's Gone, an R.-and-B. reworking of Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi. But she has mostly contempt for alternative rock.
