		<title>More Broken Healthcare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just have three things to say. First of all, the word is pronounced PRE-scription not PER-scription.
Secondly, if we&#8217;re talking medicinal, you want to know something that is broken in the health care system? I&#8217;ll tell you: pharmacies. What value does a pharmacist add? None. They can be immediately replaced by vending machines and websites [...]]]></description>

		<title>Broken Medicine Rant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s wrong with Medicine today?
Let&#8217;s design the most inefficient, error-prone, hackable system for transmitting medical information.
We&#8217;ll start by having persons with notorious handwriting, doctors, scribble in code onto a piece of paper.
Then, the afflicted person (the patient) jams that paper into their pants&#8217; pocket and carries it down to a non-doctor (a pharmacy tech), who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celebrity or not, HIPAA applies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actor George Clooney was admitted last month to the the Palisades Medical Center after a motorcycle accident. The temptation to look at Mr. Clooney&#8217;s medical file was just too much a couple dozen unauthorized employees to withstand. 27 people looked. 27 people are now suspended for a month without pay according to CNN.com. Sadly, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>HealthVault: Microsoft Insecurity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft, the megalithic, oft-hated vendor of  only marginally-useful software, announced today in the Wall Street Journal that it would be offering  free personal health records on the Web via its HealthVault system. Why *anyone* would trust the likes of Microsoft with their health information is beyond my comprehension. Still, proving once again that CEOs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Generation X Doctors to the Rescue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that many doctors are, if not technophobic, at least VERY SLOW to implement new technologies. To wit, according to the report called &#8220;Health Information Technology in the United States: The Information Base for Progress,&#8221; only one in four doctors (24.9 percent) use EHRs to improve how they deliver care to patients.1 Fortunately, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dissecting the &#8220;Real Age&#8221; Phenomenon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Recently a number of websites have been offering &#8220;real age&#8221; calculators which, upon asking a number of health/lifestyle questions, attempt to predict how long you will live. The difference between how long you are going to live and how long people live on average determines your &#8220;real age.&#8221; If, for example, you are a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Health IT Blogs All Mapped Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ What does the healthcare blogosphere look like? That is, how are all the healthcare IT blogs interconnected? To begin to answer this question, we&#8217;ll need some idea of the composition of health IT blogs. Fortunately we have HITSphere, a growing list of about healthcare IT blogs (now numbering about 50.)
I wrote a quick program [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to School (health records for kids)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer is just about over and that means a return to school for many children around the nation. Mixed into the stack of papers your child will bring home might possibly be an immunization form from the school health office. Do you remember where you last placed the immunization cards?!?

		<title>Black Bags to Robots: 100 Years of Medical Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was once a time when doctors did house calls*. Then a population boom, decreasing physician/patient ratios and new hospital technologies largely obsoleted personal house visits. For the past 50 years, nearly all contact with one&#8217;s physician has occurred in a doctor&#8217;s office. Recently, EHR patient portal software has allowed email and instant chat with [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Data != Better Data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The World Wide Web is terrifically empowering because it carries a nearly infinite wealth of knowledge on innumerable entwined topics right into the leisure of your home.

Also, a deluge of information without context and experience [...]]]></description>
