(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)

[Comment] Ann Veneman: a second term at UNICEF?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The appointment of the Executive Director of UNICEF, although officially made by the UN Secretary-General, is traditionally in the gift of the US Government. Carol Bellamy was appointed in 1995 during President Clinton's term in office. Ann Veneman, President Bush's former Secretary of Agriculture, was appointed in 2005. As a new President, should Barack Obama follow usual political practice and support his own nominee as UNICEF's leader? Or should he allow Veneman to complete a second term, as most incumbents are allowed to do? Answers to these questions will come in the next few months. (Source: LANCET)

A panel's recommendation that American women need fewer mammograms would mean more deaths from breast cancerIn the US we've heard the refrain for two decades: early detection saves lives. But this week a federal advisory board decided that while that slogan wasn't false, in the case of breast cancer, it just wasn't true enough. After years of pink ribbons and breast cancer marches and admonishments to examine our breasts, this week the US Preventative Services Task Force bucked conventional wisdom (and the American Cancer Society) claiming that the number of women saved by early detection through mammography was not enough...
