NYTIMES: Little Benefit Seen, So Far, in Electronic Patient Records

The nation is set to begin an ambitious program, backed by $19 billion in government incentives, to accelerate the adoption of computerized patient records in doctors’ offices and hospitals, replacing ink and paper. There is wide agreement that the conversion will bring better care and lower costs, saving the American health care system up to $100 billion a year by some estimates.

But a new study comparing 3,000 hospitals at various stages in the adoption of computerized health records has found little difference in the cost and quality of care.

SEEMS LIKE THE WHOLE DANG DEM PROGRAM IS A LOT OF FREAKIN BS!

• AGW = BS.
• AFGHANISTAN IS SUDDENLY NOT THE CENTRAL FRONT IN THE GWOT.
• 95% OF TAXPAYERS ARE NOT GONNA GET A TAX CUT.
• AND THE SAVINGS OBAMACARE WAS SUPPOSED TO CREATE ARE BS, TOO.

THE ONLY THING OBAMA HAS ACCOMPLISHED OR IS LIKELY TO ACCOMPLISH IS MAKING US LESS SAFE AND POORER.
