DMICE Headlines

Adam Wright, PhD (OHSU '07) is involved in the medical information network at Harvard and has the goal of reducing deaths due to medical errors (Lake Oswego Review, April 17, 2008).

William Hersh, MD, DMICE Professor and Chair presented the findings of an analytical report on April 17, 2008 at a meeting on Capitol Hill of the Steering Committee on Telehealth and Healthcare Informatics. If the U.S. healthcare system moves toward wider adoption of advanced information technology systems to control health care costs, reduce medical errors and improve patient care, it will need at least 40,000 additional health IT professionals – or almost 40 percent more than U.S. hospitals are now estimated to employ (press release).
