Danger for Health IT
This is from Bill Boyles:
"It would be breathtakingly stupid to put health care data on the computer and end up with the same sets of isolated, inaccessible, non-interactive information silos we have now with paper medical records. We need all of the information about each patient. We need that information all of the time – whenever and wherever care is being delivered." — George Halvorson, Kaiser CEO


I’m afraid that what is breathtakingly stupid is exactly what we are doing.
