What to do about “the cream of the crap”? ONC’s Adoption/Certification Workgroup meeting

February 18, 2010 · Filed Under hc's problem list, medical records, policy issues · 26 Comments

I’d like your help preparing thoughts and testimony for a policy meeting I’ve been invited to attend in Washington next week.

For these meetings, one needs to submit prepared remarks in advance, for the committee to digest in advance. And from what I’ve learned so far about this, there’s a lot to chew on, and people of all stripes (that’s you) can probably provide valuable input. At very least you can express yourself.

[Update 1 pm ET Thursday: I haven't been able to convert the recording mentioned below (which is in RealPlayer format) to display it here, but if you have RealPlayer installed you can play it yourself at http://real.welch.jhu.edu/ramgen/DHSI/Dec182009.rm. The slides are often out of sync with the audio but they catch up. Skip the first 9 minutes; the talk starts around 9:15 and goes 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A. The meat of it is in Dr. Koppel's talk, but the Q&A has more juice.]
