What Does SEEDIE Have To Do With Patient Compliance?
First, one needs to know that SEEDIE is the Society for Exorbitantly Expensive and Difficult to Implement EHR’s, an organization that defines itself as “a healthcare IT standards organization that is completely funded and operated by a select group of proprietary electronic health record vendors.”

SEEDIE also offers levels of certification for vendors that is exclusively fee-based.
