Bates, DW et al (2002) A Proposal for Electronic Medical Records in U.S. Primary Care J Am Med Inform Assoc ;10:1-10 This paper, developed by the National Alliance for Primary Care Informatics, a collaborative group sponsored by a number of primary care societies, argues that providers' and patients' information and decision support needs can be satisfied only if primary care providers use electronic medical records (EMRs). Although robust EMRs are now available, only about 5% of U.S. primary care providers use them. Recently, with only modest investments, Australia, New Zealand, and England have achieved major breakthroughs in implementing EMRs in primary care. Substantial benefits realizable through routine use of electronic medical records include improved quality, safety, and efficiency, along with increased ability to conduct education and research. Nevertheless, barriers to adoption exist and must be overcome. This paper is a valuabel summing up of the importanc eof EMR to medical instutions, the challenges, and how institutions can meet these challegnes.

here is no doubt that there is a direct correlation between the PTSD that veterans of foreign wars suffer with and their rates of substance abuse. In viewing the research available on the subject as well as the methods that the military and counselors have advocated for in beginning the treatment of PTSD and substance abuse for veterans of foreign wars, it is clear that both CBT and SFT approaches can be helpful as long as there is a specific military focus contained in each. Veterans of foreign wars have taken on a specific service that requires a specific kind of focus when attempting to deal with these individuals' mental health. While a correlation is seen in the research group at hand, additional research regarding the solution to the problem of substance abuse among veterans exists and can be utilized in order to eliminate the correlation in a future analysis of this research group as well as in others throughout the country.

The central argument is that old age is in the future for most of us; or at least for those of us lucky enough to live long enough to become old. It is therefore vital to think about the ethics that relate to aging.
