Here’s a smattering of what’s offered on the iPhone applications online store: “Whenever you try to legislate professional behavior, there are bound to be unintended consequences. With surgical report cards, surgeons’ numbers improved not only because of better performance but also because dying patients were not getting the operations they needed. Pay for performance is likely to have similar repercussions.” —Sandeep Jauhar, cardiologist, on the pitfalls of linking physicians’ pay to performance, in The New York Times I PubSearchPlus — Full-text access to scientific articles through PubMed ($2.99) I Epocrates Rx — Drug reference for 3,300 drugs (Free) I Lung Age Calculator — Use with spirometry to calculate a patient’s lung age (99¢) I Patient Tracker — Keep notes on patients ($9.99) I Stat ICD-9 2009 — 13,000 ICD-9 code descriptions ($29.99) “Some pundits claim that the United States has a uniquely individualistic culture, and that Americans won’t accept any system that makes healthcare a collective responsibility. Those who say this, however, seem to forget that we already have a program — you may have heard of it — called Medicare.” —Paul Krugman, Op-Ed columnist, The New York Times, on whether the Democrats can deliver on their promise of universal healthcare post-election. “Logan has the thumb, Eli has the pointer, and, unfortunately, Collin gets the middle finger. I hope that doesn’t have anything to do with his personality.” —Alison Penn, mother of identical triplets born this past spring, on how the hospital used nail polish to tell the infants apart.
