The health care industry is poised to realize huge savings by implementing electronic health records systems, but who really benefits is up for debate.

Electronic information, whether it's smart grid or digital health records, should be a boon for cyber security firms like RazorThreat.

The downtown Pontiac-based firm specializes in threat analysis and other cyber security issues for firms.

It's been a growth industry as the world goes digital, and Greg Guidice, CEO of RazorThreat, sees it exploding as more and more hackers become more sophisticated, better funded, and more effective.

"Look at what's happening at Twitter," Guidice says.

Getting an electronic health record system in place by 2014? Tough.

Much work remains to be done before detailed medical files and seamless communication can improve the quality of health care and help reduce dangerous errors.
