Monday Must Read

Today is the first edition of a new weekly feature called Monday Must Read. This feature will include a few of the more interesting articles I find during the course of the week that you must read.

May 5, 2009:

"The Good News in a Shrinking GDP," Business Week May 4th Edition

This article gives a pretty good summation of where the economy stands going forward. It is interesting reading and I find the assumptions and foundations to be sound. In general I would recommend this weekly series called the "Business Outlook."

"The Dubious Promise of Digital Medicine," Business Week May 4th Edition

This article is one of the feature stories in this edition of Business Week. It gives a pretty thorough look at the industry surrounding digital medical records and systems. The author points out some of the dubious assumptions being made in predicted savings numbers. This is something everyone should read given our President's affinity for this industry. If we are expected to foot the bill for this digital make over we should be asking some tough and critical questions. Remember, when the dust settles the taxpayer will be left holding the bill!
