So says DAVID BLUMENTHAL in an interview with The New York Times' David Pogue.

Great quotes:
"To be a 21st-century physician, to be a 21st-century hospital, we can't record data the same way the Greeks did in 500 B.C. We've gotta move to use the computer to support our work. And that's what we're trying to do."
"Computers can help doctors be better doctors. They can help hospitals be better hospitals. They can help patients take control of their illnesses, not only by making the information available in a reliable way, but by adding tips and reminders and personalized messages about what to do to improve your health, or what tests to order if you're a physician, and what drugs to use or to avoid."
That's just the beginning.
