What to do for DB5:  There are two things to complete:

Select any topic that is of interest to you!  Educate us all on your topic of choice.  Include your opinion of the matter.  Include your thoughts regarding the impact of your topic of choice (and the current happenings around that topic) on the healthcare industry.  I am especially interested in the impacts on healthcare administrators.

What is the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act)?  How will it impact healthcare administration?
