...fact, doctors anywhere in the U.S. have had access to the same prescription-writing software from Allscripts for free off the Web since 2007. The cost is underwritten by many of the technology and health industry's biggest names - Cisco, Dell, Google, Microsoft, Aetna and Wellpoint. (The upside for Allscripts is potential future sales of its full medical record-keeping software to early adopters of the e-prescribing program.) But even freebies aren't enough to get doctors to change their paper-scribbling ways. Many still find old-fashioned pen and pad to be more efficient. A recent study found...
Location: Premium. Lowell is the geographic center of River House life. Quincy and Leverett are seconds away, and Winthrop, Eliot, and Kirkland are sneaky close once you pick up that Lowell-residents-only backdoor swipe access.

The dealers blame the auto companies for a lack of good products and access to consumer credit. The car companies want the dealers to buy more inventory to give them much-needed cash flow. Dealers are going out of business and fairly soon Chrysler and GM may be gone...
...unlearned. People are going to keep cars longer and fewer new cars are going to be sold. America's car companies are in a better position to refurbish or repair cars and trucks than local mechanics are. Their service departments have almost uniformly well-trained people. They have access to new parts from the manufacturer. They have the ability to schedule and control the flow of service to customers. They can loan customers cars. And, they are literally dying for business...
