President Bush and Senator John Kerry have each called for a bigger commitment to computerization to reduce the 98,000 avoidable deaths a year that an eye-opening federal report in 1999 said might be caused by mistakes of doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel. Yet even now, despite pressure from large employers, unions and health care advocacy groups - and aggressive marketing by vendors -...
