Walgreens plans to deploy the WellHealth EHR, built upon Greenway Medical Technologies? EHR platform, to nearly 8,000 stores over the next year.

If you are a physician, you are more likely to experience symptoms of burnout than individuals in other professions, according to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Mobile health app store Happtique pilots mRx, a solution that enables physicians to prescribe medical, health, and fitness apps to their patients. Physicians and licensed health practitioners, such as nurses, dietitians, and therapists can select apps to prescribe and Happtique will track how many times patients clicked the ?fill? button after an app prescription is sent. App usage, however, will not be measured, nor will clinical outcomes. My take: sounds fun but it won?t take long for patients to lose interest.
