Fwd: [ihc] Shooting arrows at barn doors?

[David RR Webber <david@drrw.info>]

Is anyone here involved in the CHI mentioned below?

Would definately be interested to present on the EPR work to the CHI if anyone
has contacts there.

I posted this over on the new IHC list too - but that TC is really only just
getting on it feet - first meeting is next month.

Thanks, DW

This just out - however - while this may appear further away when seen in rear
view mirror - the below certainly is quotable to help focus on why such things
as the digital bag and bizID research the the EPR team are doing are vitally
important stones on the path...

Health IT – President Bush has called for the widespread adoption of
interoperable Electronic Health Records in ten years. Interoperability through
standards will enable us to share electronic patient records, which will
improve the quality of health care. Standards are adopted for health IT use by
all Federal agencies through the efforts of the multi-agency Consolidated
Health Informatics (CHI), a joint venture of HHS, Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DOD). Adoption of these standards will
increase our ability to share medical data within the health community.
