Expensive iron doesn't equal high technology. Interview by Carolyn Dunbar and Joy Young.

Abstract

In a candid interview with Computers in Healthcare, Nobel Prize winner Arno Penzias, Ph.D., calls healthcare backward and archaic, the last remaining cottage industry of our time. "Physicians are not going to the keyboard," he states with conviction born of his own experience in what he characterizes as today's very un-high-tech healthcare organizations.
