Article by Dr Bill Cast from No More Clipboards, a personal health records company on why doctors hate EMRs: “Today most EHRs and EMRs are invasive both to workflow and finances. While high cost is a significant barrier to physician adoption, workflow disruption remains the killer deterrent. Most proprietary softwares offer a limited palate of practice [...]Epic Systems EHR on Forbes

Well, I’ve got some more web-sites in Word-documents. I think it would more comfortable to send you that information using e-mail.
By the way I’ll be happy to take part in your social network that you spoke about in your letters. But what does “children’s pages” mean? Where can I find them? And I didn’t understand a little the passage: “When you have a free time you can add some comments for our children who like to join and contribute us. We want to know their E mail addresses to invite for this programme. after we invited you please don’t forward that invitation to another persons, it is a kindly request from you”. Do you mean, that I can give your e-mail and children’s e-mails to someone else who would be glad to communicate with them, or I should not? Sorry for my misapprehending.
So my e-mail: jane.rf@yandex.ru.
If I find any more interesting information about enhancement of English and IT knowledge, I’ll definitely give it to you.
See you later!
