Tech Is Driving Collaboration In Behavioral Health

The proliferation of electronic medical records (EMRs) has left much to be desired. Though designed with care improvement and data exchange in mind, the necessary connective tissue layer is absent.

Arrest Those Climate Skeptics!

(John Hinderaker) The totalitarian tendencies of American liberals have long been evident.

The latest case in point comes from 20 climate alarmists who have written to President Obama, recommending that the realists who poke holes in their theories be charged with federal

The Tupac of the Founding Fathers

I wish I could say I liked Alexander Hamilton before it was cool. The truth is that I rode the same wave of resurgent popularity that has now given audiences the most creative, compelling, original telling of America's founding in pop culture memory.

The post The Tupac of the Founding Fathers appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.
