Information technology holds promise for advancing healthcare
It is known as „Health IT,“ an idea that promises to use information technology to cut medical errors, avoid unnecessary tests and procedures and identify better treatments. The Obama administration is betting that $19 billion of the economic stimulus package will spread the concept from coast to coast. In Hawaii, Kaiser Permanente reported a 26% drop in patient visits after the hospital giant implemented an electronic record system that allows doctors and patients to communicate more easily by telephone or e-mail for routine contacts.

Mental Health Bill „has balance“
The government’s Mental Health Bill strikes the „right balance“ between patient safeguards and protecting the public, the health secretary has said. „The bill would enable a patient who is detained in hospital to be released under supervised community treatment, enabling some patients to be discharged into the community earlier than would otherwise have been the case.“

Mental health care „must improve“
„Sadly the government is happy with an administered chemical cosh of drugs for the alarming increases in the number of children suffering from mental illness. „Their draconian approach risks more sufferers not coming forward and risking their conditions deteriorating under the clinical radar.“
