04/06/2011 By Anthony Guerra Leave a Comment

The HIT Policy Committee’s Meaningful Use Workgroup struggled to reach consensus on key Stage 2 requirements, with some accusing the group of being timid in certain areas, while others characterized proposed requirements as unrealistic in the given timeframe.

The Most Powerful Person in Healthcare IT

02/10/2011 By Anthony Guerra 2 Comments

It was not immediately clear, at least to me, that HITECH would have the effect it has. By that I mean it would utterly and completely transform the healthcare IT industry.

Those thorny details revolved around a portion of the program which called for the creation of a non-government organization (NGO) that would disseminate best practices and resolve problems faster than a formal government body could.

Policy Committee Wants Many Changes to MU

02/18/2010 By Anthony Guerra Leave a Comment

Most healthcare providers will be happy to hear that the federal health IT Policy Committee isn’t content with the proposed definition of what constitutes the meaningful use of e-health records.
