Governor Mark Warner of Virginia gets it right in talking about e-health this week. As reported in National Journal's Technology Daily, Governor Warner yesterday hailed the infusion of IT in healthcare as a means for companies to grow revenue. Although he also said during the Virginia IT Symposium that "healthcare costs are making all American businesses less and less competitive."
He's right on: Health IT can save money for companies but it can also save lives. Some estimates show that medical errors cost nearly 100,000 lives per year. We can do better than that. Warner went on to say: "It blows my mind that we have not brought the power of IT to our largest sector."
Kudos to the gov for being visionary when it comes to the potential power of e-health.

The custom comparison essay created by quality writing services should be a correct resolution for students, which don't have time for custom term papers accomplishing.

Health 2.0 refers to a number of related concepts including telemedicine, electronic medical records, and the use of the internet by patients themselves such as through messageboards, blogs, and other more advanced systems.

In an opinion piece, Robert Pearl, executive director and CEO of the Permanente Medical Group, argues that the use of electronic health records would improve patients' care. He concludes, "It's time to apply to health care the knowledge and tools that have revolutionized and improved other aspects of modern life. We owe it to all Americans."

I embossed the guitar player with silver powder -- much shinier in real life and that flash is powerful as you cannot see through the embossing with your naked eye.The saying is from my favorite retired birthday greeting set -- had to use that song lyric for this one!

your intestinal tract does a fine job of cleaning itself, those cleanses
as they are called are nothing more than cathartics, or laxative measures and they can really mess you up.
The only reason they get away with their promotions is because they
are not regulated by the FDA, they use only "natural" ingredients...well guess what, most dangerous illnesses are also caused by "natural" agents. It's all a load of BS.

Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to create a good
article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and never manage to get anything done.
