“In The New York Times, Sindya Bhanoo examines Denmark, a country which has adopted health information technology to a high degree. Bhanoo finds that, while Denmark is in some ways an exceptional case, it can also provide a few principles to guide America’s proposed adoption of the same technology, chief among those being patience, persistence and a gradual pace.
