More Support for Electronic Medical Recordkeeping

2010-12-12

Patients: There's more good news about electronic medical recordkeeping (EMR), the digitalized system that records, analyzes and tracks a vast array of medical and hospital processes. A recent Pfizer-sponsored study finds that when patients suffer adverse events from prescription drugs, EMRs may report the mishaps faster and more accurately than when they use existing methods. Some observers suspect, however, that the new technology may turn out to be more hype than help. For one thing, the study sample was both tiny -- 26 Boston physicians -- and brief, covering ...

It seems we hear about them every day: a product recall from an auto manufacturer. Another recall from the maker of a baby crib. An over-the-counter drug. A child's car seat. Tainted meat.

Debt and Higher Education

2010-12-12

For decades, government sponsored student loans have helped pave the way for millions to get a college education. Following graduation, the loans are repaid over a period of time, and usually with relatively little difficulty. But as tuition has increased in recent years to never-before-seen levels, and interest rates followed with it, and the economy tanked, many former students are finding it impossible to repay their loans. Many graduates have turned to bankruptcy to eliminate credit card balances and other types of debt, but these same graduates cannot expect to wash ...
