QUICK FACTS
=========================================================
1. $200 Billion Price Tag for National Health Network

In a landmark paper released in the August issue of the
Annals of Internal Medicine, a panel of experts determined a
model for a national health information network in the
United States and created a cost estimate for the project.
The estimate aims for a five-year time frame, an even more
aggressive timeline than the 10-year timeframe put forth by
President Bush last year. According to the report, a fully
operational national health information network would
require $156 billion in capital investment over the next
five years plus an additional $48 billion in annual
operating costs. The amount of capital investment, $156
billion, is roughly equal to 2 percent of annual health care
spending.

2. Computer Models Calm Fears of Bird Flu Pandemic,
Urge Vigilance

An outbreak of bird flu in humans need not become a
pandemic, conclude two papers published this week in
prestigious science journals.

3. CIOs Learn Very Little from Security Audits

In the Visa data theft case, much has been made of a
security audit that cleared the clearinghouse that
improperly handled the data. But security experts see audits
rarely shedding much light on what the CIO doesn't already
know.

4. Bush Signs Medical Error Database Bill

The legislation will allow clinicians to report medical
errors anonymously; the information will be collected and
analyzed for clues as to how to reduce mistakes.
