Interoperability Trends and Patterns
This month’s Standard Insight is the last issue as published over the last 11-1/2 years. For those interested in an “oral history” of standards and interoperability, all issues back to 2001 are available to HIMSS members. One might ask why this current Standards Insight, … Continue reading
A Single Standard
As a follow-up to last month’s post, one of the more interesting outcomes of the ONC-led health IT initiatives is not just the coalescence around HL7 standards, but the central role the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) has been accorded among interoperability strategy.

Numbers Do Count
In a blog piece last month, we began to examine newly released numbers from CMS that help us measure the advances in health IT, particularly through the lens of meaningful use and other federal initiatives. In this month’s Standard Insight, available … Continue reading
Numbers Matter
Numbers have the interesting property of turning theory into practice. Over the last month, we have seen a series of reports of how health IT transformation is advancing.
Chaos and Health IT
On the HIMSS Blog last month, I noted that we live our lives somewhere between fibrillation and asystole, a thought I had while listening to the Health IT Standards Committee (HITSC) August meeting call. The call reported on the frenetic activity … Continue reading
