As we continue to discuss electronic health record
implementation in the U.S., it’s interesting to learn……
Denmark’s Health Information System the
Most Efficient in the World
"Several studies … conclude that the Danish information
system is the most efficient in the world, saving doctors an
average of 50 minutes a day in administrative work," The New
York Times reported. According to the same source, a 2008
Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society
study (pdf) "estimated that electronic record keeping saved
Denmark’s health system as much as $120 million a year."
In Denmark, "virtually all primary care physicians and nearly
half of the hospitals use electronic records." In contrast, only
10% of hospitals and 17% of physicians in the United States
use electronic health records, according to The New England
Journal of Medicine.

It’s been a cold winter, and if you’re
like me, you’re just about ready for
Spring. And with Spring comes
Records and Information Management
Month. Held annually in April, it’s the
opportune time to highlight the
profession and to educate non-Records
Managers. Celebrate it locally by
planning records management-related
activities to be held at your Company.
This month’s meeting will be held on
the Southside. Plan now to attend, and
bring a guest. Remember…a “guest” is
a potential “new member”.
Blessings!
A Note from the President…

Ferriero Takes Oath as Archivist of the United States
David S. Ferriero, the former director of the Andrew W. Mellon New York Public Libraries and a leader in the
field of research librarianship, was sworn in on November 13 as the 10th Archivist of the United States at the National
Archives and Records Administration. “I’m very excited about being here,” said Ferriero. “I am looking forward to jumping in
with both feet to work with the staff at the National Archives on the important issues that we face in a world increasingly
dependent upon information and technology.”

Suit over Bush White House E-Mails Settled
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and the National Security Archive (NSA) reached a final settlement
of their long-running lawsuits challenging the failure of the Bush White House and the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) to take any action after confronted with evidence that millions of e-mails had gone missing from Bush
White House servers over a two and one-half year period. The lawsuits followed CREW’s revelation in April 2008 that the White
House had discovered the problem in the fall of 2005. Nevertheless, the Bush White House failed to recover or restore the missing
e-mails and knowingly continued to use a broken system for preserving electronic records.
Under the terms of the settlement, the Executive Office of the President (EOP) will restore a total of 94 days of missing e-mails,
which will then be sent to NARA for preservation and eventual access under either the Presidential Records Act or the Federal
Records Act. The dates for restoration were chosen based on e-mail volume and external events because there simply was not
enough money to restore all the missing e-mails. In addition, the EOP will continue to provide CREW and the NSA with records
documenting the missing e-mail problem, the response of the Bush White House to that problem, and the options for preserving
electronic records the Bush White House considered, but rejected.
To date, the Obama White House has produced thousands of pages of documents relating to these issues, all of which CREW
has posted on www.governmentdocs.org. Finally, the EOP will be providing a publicly releasable description of the system it now
uses to manage and preserve electronic records, including its e-mail archiving and backup systems. CREW and the NSA will then
dismiss their lawsuits.
Melanie Sloan, CREW’s executive director, said, “We may never know exactly what happened to all the missing emails, and which
Bush administration officials were involved in the coverup, but we do know the American public never got the full story.”
