My concerns with organizations such as CCHIT and NCPDP are the fact that they are both paid models. CCHIT is not cheap and NCPDP, although not expensive, there is nothing that stops them from charging $10K for the standard next year. This is akin to the US Govt. charging $25 per person for following the US Constitution. My hopes are that these efforts will be truly open. If the HTTP standard wasn't freely available, I doubt we would have made such progress with the internet.PilotTechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861093129838063791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-62303246457950594102009-06-08T21:16:10.776-07:002009-06-08T21:16:10.776-07:00Steve,

However, I'm wondering how long it will take to add logic to data to turn it into recommended actions/treatments. Some things are easy (such as drug/drug interactions). However, for patients with multiple physicians and more complex situations, it is going to take some time to develop the right "balance of power" between expert systems and good 'ol fashion physician judgement.<br /><br />While it has been covered in other posts, I would say that the path for realizing benefits from HIT will mirror other technology innovation cycles, with rapid booms and lulls.Stephen Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643517669191036005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-21738576043803656772009-06-08T09:57:12.729-07:002009-06-08T09:57:12.729-07:00I recently came across a work of harmonic art, rel...I recently came across a work of harmonic art, related to HIT organizations, that I would to share. On his blog, Dr. Ross Martin performs an original work entitled: "HITECH: An Interoperetta in Three Acts".
