Workplace Wellness Programs Are a Sham
A Slate article arguing against employee-sponsored wellness programs reports that they “promote medical tests of dubious value, encourage unnecessary doctor visits, and collect sensitive health information despite often extremely lax privacy policies, with little to no evidence that they improve health outcomes.”
Breeches, privacy invasions, delays, excess costs, bond degradations, and zero evidence of overall medical benefits for the EHR systems, yet you continue to promote them and their vendors. Have you thought of covering the IRS investigation of HIM$$? Just wonderin
So what happened to “you can keep your doctor” with ACA? Sounds like it will be VERY narrow networks, very limited choice. What a great program. How do I sign up again?

So you seem logical in your assessment of the current EHR moonscape. But why does the FDA claim that there is not any evidence for benefit of antibacterial substances in soaps; and concomitantly allow EHRs to pervade the entirety of medical care without any evidence of benefit?
