WEDNESDAY, June 18 (HealthDay News) -- Electronic medical record systems are being touted as the wave of the future in health care and communication, but only 17 percent of U.S. doctors have embraced the technology, a new survey finds.

"When you use a good definition of what a record system is, very few physicians appear to have one," said lead study author Catherine M. DesRoches, at Massachusetts General Hospital's Institute for Health Policy, in Boston.

Hi

We just noticed a small blackish brown mole on our toddlers thigh that has appeared out of nowhere. It is dark brown in color and is quite small but noticeable. It has not changed in size or color or consistency since it sprouted but it hasn't been that long. It wasn't there a few weeks ago - this is brand new.

Does anyone know why this would happen? Is it something that needs to be seen by a doctor or is this common?

She has very fair skin and wears a factor 50 sunblock at all times and has no other moles or freckles.

Thanks
