A special September/October edition of Health Affairs, available September 14, is a thematic issue dedicated to health information technology (HIT). Among the articles are estimates of cost savings if electronic medical records are wisely used; an assessment of physicians' use of HIT; a review of the slow adoption of HIT; and an interview with the national coordinator of HIT, David Brailer. Upon reviewing the forthcoming issue's table of contents, Brailer called the volume a "tour de force." Print editions may be ordered for $35 each on Health Affairs' Web site or from Customer Service at 301-347-3900.
