February 6, 2009
Analysis by: John Hsu, Director of Anesthesiology ,Health Info Technology Saves Lists, Costs: Study | news.yahoo.com
Information technology in healthcare saves lives if it is frequently used by doctors for medical practice.

Why hasn't EHR been adopted faster
November 26, 2008
Analysis by: John Hsu, Director of Anesthesiology ,Survey: Hospital EHR Adoption Rate is Below 12% | www.govhealthit.com
The lack of a comprehensive EHR implementation suggests that we are failing at our goal of improving the healthcare system. While the article highlights many problems, very few solutions are offered to remedy this part of our healthcare crises. The key implications are: 1. The adoption rate of electronic health records in nonfederal U.S. hospitals is low 2. The percentage of these electronic record systems may be classified as "fully functional is low 3. The companies that can fill the enormous gaps in adoption have laid the foundation for future adoption.

Anesthesia Awareness and the Bispectral Index | content.nejm.org
The recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine has suggested that the BIS monitoring system does not reduce the incidence of awareness under anesthesia. The stock of Aspect Medical Systems, the manufacturer of the BIS monitoring system, has lost 40% of its value during the last few weeks. The numerous problems with this particular trial design and its execution, however, preclude the educated reader from drawing any far-reaching conclusions. I do not believe that this article would seriously affect the use of BIS devices.

Analysis by: John Hsu, Director of Anesthesiology ,Cigna reaches deal on doctors' rankings | news.yahoo.com
Missing in the article is the fact patients will still go to the physicians that they like regardless of the rating system. This rating system of doctors is really economic credentialling. Insurance companies will lower reimbursement unit values of physicians that are not rated well.

Analysis by: John Hsu, Director of Anesthesiology ,FDA Warns About Misuse Of Fentora Cancer Pain Drug | www.medicalnewstoday.com
Because the FDA warns about the misuse Of Fentora as a Cancer Pain Drug, I hope that physicians will be very carefull about prescribing this very potent opiate medication. Fortunately, the company Cephalon is correcting the problem without taking away the important role of this drug in controlling breakthrough pain. Patience, education, and vigilence could make this drug safer. Pain has not killed anyone but opiates have killed many.
