On the Pitfalls of Going Electronic: Should Physicians Reject Hospital EMRs?
http://hcrenewal.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ should-physicians-reject-hospital-emrs.…Yes, I believe they should, and with a spine, especially when they're lousy and their design and implementation have been led by people with superficial "certification" and/or no clinical credentials whatsoever. And sometimes no discernible IT credentials, either, unless you consider the "school of hard knocks" a credential.

EHRs, PHRs, PCHRs discussed in the April 17 NEJM
http://billkosloskymd.typepad.com/ wirelessdoc/ 2008/ 04/ ehrs-phrs-pchrs.htmlIt was one of those late night reading sessions that kept me going till the sun came up. I had taken a nap earlier in the evening, so I was fully awake all through the night. Anyway, I had printed out these articles concerning the electronic health record, mostly about PHRs, published in the April 17 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

http://invivoblog.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 03/ fdas-roadside-bombs-and-insurgents.htm…“Roadside bombs” and “insurgents” aren’t typically found in FDA’s regulatory lexicon. But that’s how FDA’s former drug center director Carl Peck described the situation the agency finds itself in right now. Peck, speaking at the Food and Drug Law Institute’s annual meeting March 27, was referring specifically to a study making headlines today in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Peer-review and openness
http://mndoci.com/ blog/ 2008/ 03/ 15/ peer-review-and-openness/This is an interesting battle. Big Pharma vs. traditional peer-reviewed publishing. A judge ruled that peer-reviewed documents requested by Pfizer could not be released by the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Personally I believe peer-review should not be closed, although I am on the fence about the anonymity of reviewers.
