The consensus of the expert comments, said Dr. William F. Bria, president of the board of the association, will be conveyed to the Obama administration.”

“It’s our fervent belief that the men and women who have implemented this technology in hospitals and clinics should be listened to and their advice incorporated in the national plan,” said Dr. Bria, who is chief medical information officer for the 20 Shriners Hospitals for Children in the United States.”

Per Dr. Blackford Middleton, a health technology expert at Partners Healthcare, a nonprofit medical group that includes Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the use of Health IT needs to work politically as well as technically.
