I totally agree that I am more apt to take the advice of my Doctor who actually is fit as well and gives tips for personal experience. If you hired a personal trainer do you want someone who is fit and in shape? Or would you be just as happy with someone who isn’t in great shape and believe that they can help you achieve your goals?
Electronic Medical Records Systems Can Help Prevent Deaths.
According to the April issue of the journal Health Affairs. While about 44% of American doctors have some element of electronic health record (EHR) working in their offices. The portion of hospitals with fully operational ones hovers around 2%.
According to The New England Journal of Medicine “Small clinics treat about half of the patients in the United States, yet only 17 percent report using electronic records.” And experts call the lack of communication and coordination among doctors, specialists, and hospital systems one of the biggest problems in our health system.
Between 2005 and 2007, as many as 238,337 deaths in the U.S. were potentially preventable, according to healthcare rating company Healthgrades. Some could have been avoided with electronic health records, which could more easily flag patients with other underlying conditions or who could experience dangerous drug interactions.
