“In the Washington Times last week, Tevi Troy and Jason Fodeman, MD, wrote a commentary, “Electronic flash in pan: Computerized records’ cost-cutting falls short,” essentially bashing President Obama’s push for computerizing patient records.
Given that Troy was President George W. Bush’s deputy health and human services secretary, the editorial is nothing more than an attempt to politicize the current president’s health IT position. Since they identified the Physicians for a National Health Program (whose leadership published the Harvard studies) as “liberal,” it’s only fair to point out that the Heritage Foundation, where Fodeman was a former health policy fellow, is conservative.”
