(Physicians for a National Health Program) The increased computerization in US hospitals hasn't made them cheaper or more efficient, Harvard researchers say, although it may have modestly improved the quality of care for heart attacks. The findings contradict claims by President Obama and many lawmakers that health information technology, including electronic medical records, will save billions and help make reform affordable. The study uses data from the most extensive survey ever undertaken of hospital computerization. (Source: EurekAlert! - Social and Behavioral Science)

operations involved in hearing assessment are simple; making hearing test services more accessible to those otherwise may
not be able to obtain the desired hearing care.
