GAO will be doing a cost/benefit analysis of the national patient identifier as required by the 21st Century Cures legislation. The Pew Charitable Trust is convening a multi-stakeholder group this Summer to prioritize recommendations. I'm hopeful we'll have a path forward soon.John Halamkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550236129132159307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-85198659910528120702017-06-07T08:24:13.009-07:002017-06-07T08:24:13.009-07:00Dr. Halamka:

I agree with your points, but if I had to take a flight of fancy for predicting the directions of a truly next-generation EHR, I would see it going something like this:<br /><br />Physician data entry into the EHR UI will cease to be the center of data collection about the patient, instead patient data will be imported from a variety of sources and physicians will interact directly and naturally with whatever device, instrument or application they happen to be using; these devices will be mobile, connected and cloud-based. Care collaboration between providers and prompts for data-driven successful pathways (i.e. artificial intelligence) will also happen directly at the device in a natural way at the point of care. This is already starting to happen in ophthalmology.<br /><br />Sources for patient data will expand beyond provider-entered data and lab results to include home monitoring, patient-reported outcomes, app data, iOT data, compliance data and so on. The EHR will fade into the background but will continue to be at the center of patient records for the health system - the place where all patient data is collected, stored and interoperability provided. <br /><br />This leads to a separation of data, workflows and user interface which will be unbundled. CIO magazine had an article on this topic: http://www.cio.com/article/3185388/ehr/the-next-generation-of-ehrs-will-be-fundamentally-different.html .Nitin Karandikarhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nitinkarandikar/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-30432702718371402912017-06-05T10:58:17.989-07:002017-06-05T10:58:17.989-07:00JH-
