Economics 101 - EHR adoption will increase when it makes economic sense
Analysis of: Most Doctors Aren’t Using Electronic Health Records | www.nytimes.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor

Statistics can prove anything
Analysis of: Acomplia (rimonabant) significantly improved glucose control in type 2 diabetes patients treated with insulin | www.pipelinereview.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
Calling a 0.89% improvement "significant" just seems to me to show the weakness of this current trial.  Anyone can use statistics to prove just about anything.  Using verbal manipulation to puff up a study's result is unfair, unreliable and just plain sad.

Analysis of: Amerigroup Medicaid Rates Questioned, Suit Filed | biz.yahoo.com
Author: Frederic Goldstein, President and Chief Operating Officer, U.S. Preventive Medicine, Inc.
Amerigroup is but one example of the increased scrutiny being paid to Medicaid Health Plans following the FBI raid of Wellcare last year.

Analysis of: Uniform Doctor Ratings Sought | online.wsj.com
Author: Frederic Goldstein, President and Chief Operating Officer, U.S. Preventive Medicine, Inc.
