It's been 17 months since Jonathan Bush was forced out of AthenaHealth, but painful memories of taking on Elliott Management are still fresh.

He and Tullman were supposed to be on a panel together at an industry event in 2009, but Tullman had to bail at the last minute and was only able to join remotely, meaning he would be beamed in from an overhead monitor above the stage. Bush dipped into his bag of tricks, surprising the audience by running out in a pair of red athletic shorts, reenacting, where a woman in a similar outfit throws a sledgehammer at Big Brother on a big screen.

AthenaHealth was one of the few vendors, along with legacy players like Epic and Cerner, big enough to deal with all the rules and requirements necessary for certification. Bush admits the regulations were good for his company but bad for innovation. Bush was highly critical of the atmosphere that an activist investor creates in a company and the fear that suddenly infiltrates every meeting and event.
