Aneesh Chopra Invites You to Tell Us About Opportunities and Challenges facing HIT Implementation: Federal Advisory Committee Blog
On Feb 12, 2010 post on FACA Blog, US CTO and Implementation Workgroup Chair Aneesh Chopra invited feedback and HIT success stories in preparation for ”March 8th, the Implementation Workgroup of the Health IT Standards Committee (which) will hold a public hearing on ‘Implementation Starter Kit: Lessons and Resources to Accelerate Adoption’ to help providers achieve meaningful use by, in part, surfacing examples of effective meaningful use implementation preparation.”
Chopra continues “Although any comment or question is welcome, we are particularly interested in questions or comments about the four categories of standards:
- Vocabulary Standards (i.e., standardized nomenclatures and code sets used to describe clinical problems and procedures, medications, labs and allergies);
- Content Exchange Standards (i.e., standards used to share clinical information such as clinical summaries, prescriptions, and structured electronic documents);
- Transport Standards (i.e., standards used to establish a common, predictable, secure communication protocol between systems); and
- Privacy and Security Standards (e.g., authentication, access control, transmission security) which relate to and span across all of the other types of standards. “
While feedback on the blog is “not a substitute for official feedback on the regulations” due March 15, 2010, it will help guide the Implementation meeting.
