<p>I would think so ... just among the people who went to San Diego.  So the %'s are not from the entire USA healthcare industry, just the people at the conference ...</p><p>Also, the "Army ..... 39%" ==> probably that percentage is taken from all people who are related to military, and not 39% of the total number of 25,000 attendees.  Understand what I mean?</p><p>Then for the "Length of Time in Field" ... maybe those %'s are from the people who took time to answer the question, not necessarily from all 25,000 people.  ^_^</p><p>Mr. Li ... do you think the CHIMA conference will take similar statistics?  ^_^</p><p>  -- LL</p><p><!--quote-Paullee+2006-04-19 22:01--><div class='quotetop'>引用Paullee &#064; 2006-04-19 22:01)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quote1--></p><p>Larry, Thank you for your attached file.
