...despite all the stimulus money being directed toward developing electronic medical records, there are still surprisingly few doctors, hospitals and insurers using Google Health and other sites like it. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center just announced that it will start to integrate its records with Google Health. Cleveland Clinic, the MinuteClinics inside CVS stores and the Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center participate, as does Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.

Grundy says the underrepresentation of women in drug trials does not discount statins' benefit; it results only in a failure to show a statistically significant effect.
