Cedars dinged in WashPost

On the front page of Monday's paper, the Washington Post comes out to report on how badly things went when Cedars-Sinai Medical Center tried to install a $34 million computer system for digitizing hospital records. It's framed as a lesson in the difficulty facing the Bush Administration's call for more computerization in the health care field. It's a follow-up of sorts to an L.A. Times piece in 2003 on Cedars, the largest private hospital in the West, junking the computers in favor of pen and paper.
