Num Pisutha's father was a doctor and other members of his family worked in medical professions. So it's no surprise that Pisutha would become ... a solution provider.

A solution provider in the health-care field, of course, implementing and supporting electronic medical record (EMR) systems in physician offices in 30 states. "It's a challenge and it's a lot of work," Pisutha said. "I think there's a lot of opportunity, but it also takes a lot of investment."

It's an investment that's beginning to pay off for those solution providers like Pisutha's Dardenne Prairie, Mo.-based Curas that are now pursuing the EMR market. Outpatient physician offices, those with a single doctor to group practices with 10 or 12, remain one of the least automated, most paper-intensive professions.
