UCLA Medical Center in the news

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are the new it thing amongst providers. Kaiser, The Cleveland Clinic, Microsoft are three of the largest organizations to publicly speak about their move toward having patient history online and 100 percent accessible from a computer (some programs differ as to whom can access and from where.) 

Lately it has been revealed that UCLA staff members have been caught searching the medical records of Brittney Spears, Maria Shriver and Farrah Fawcett 

It would be pretty smart for someone to position their expert on EMRs with the media and have them slip in that this would not have happened at UCLA if they had EMRs...just a way to make an ever green expert timely. 

Congrats to the Post

Congrats to the Washington Post for their six Pulitzer Prizes including the public service medal...the most distinguished.

But what I really like is that I read the article on latimes.com (it is an AP article, so I doubt anyone really read it), but there is no mention of the Los Angeles Times. I guess newspapers do just report the news, sometimes.

I posted the article below for the rest of the winners, but who knows if it will show up. I still have not figured out my blog... 

Penn out...who's in??

With Penn ousted out of the Clinton campaign, I am curious to see who they get in there. Someone that has ties to their past successes? Someone that the democratic party likes? A no name new to Washington? If they're smart they'll hire Nader and then they will get all the Environmental and Independant votes they always whine that he steals every election:).
