US Doctors Want Mobile Phones In
Hospitals Too 09/27/2004 11:27 AM
While we've already written about doctors in the UK saying hospital bans on mobile phones should be dropped it appears that there's a similar movement in the US. Healthcare officials are starting to call the ban a "myth," an "old wives' tale" and "a silly thing." Some, though, are still worried, and claim anecdotal evidence that mobile phones can interfere with equipment -- despite increasing evidence that it's very specific, more reasonably blocked, circumstances that would cause the interference. In fact, some are saying that allowing mobile phones in hospitals would do much more to save lives, noting how many deaths there are due to prescription mistakes that might be solved by a simple, quick phone call in the hospital -- while also pointing out that "there is no evidence that a cell phone has ever killed a patient."

Time For Hospitals To Join The
Information Age

Time For Hospitals To Join The
Information Age 06/18/2004 12:59 PM
While there are some hospitals who have successf ully moved into the digital age, plenty haven't budged from their old paper-based filing system. It's not so much that hospitals dislike technology. They buy all sorts of advanced medical technology all the time. But, when it comes to administrative technology and things like computerized prescription systems - which might save lives by preventing mistakes - hospitals don't seem to care. The complaints range from doctors who are afraid the new system will slow them down, to hospitals who point out that the only benefit to these systems is to the patients (you know, the folks who don't want to die) and not the hospital itself. Yes, the health of a patient is secondary to profitability these days. Of course, considering the high price of malpractice lawsuits, you would think such systems might pay for themselves. It's certainly a political hot potato, though. Politicians are now looking for ways to force hospitals to join the twenty-first century and update their computer systems to prevent errors.
