I started out the day attending a keynote by Dr. John D. Halamka (Chief Information Officer of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Chief Information Officer at Harvard Medical School, Chairman of the New England Healthcare Exchange Network (NEHEN), Chair of the US Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP)/Co-Chair of the HIT Standards Committee, and a practicing Emergency Physician).
Okay, now that that’s out of the way…
It was an outstanding talk, far more interesting than the title (“Using Harmonized Standards in the Era of Meaningful Use”) would suggest. Basically, Dr. Halamka talked about some suggestions that HITSP made to improve the Meaningful Use requirements.
Instead of trying to summarize Dr. Halamka’s talk, I’ll just direct you to his blog, particularly his HIMSS Top 10 list.
