I know NHIN is not enforcable, however, we need to start using one common methodology or we will suffer the economic and technological backlashes of having too many disparate ways for doing the same ting (again!), making clinical data crunching and mining a nightmare of epic proportions! I have seen the huge waste of economic and human resources in Re-inventing the Wheel and the Not Invented Here syndromes in the computer industry and am witnessing similar frightening "band-aid" soutions in health care now. Why are we so resistent to using standards? let us not be the next beares of the old joke: "the only good thing about having standards is there are so many to choose from!"Merdi Rafieihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426029734238355254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-87483792616414791352011-05-20T08:59:23.352-07:002011-05-20T08:59:23.352-07:00Thanks for the post.

It's sponsored by HHS, open source, low cost or no cost. It's designed to be universally accessible, like regular email, so it avoids many of the costs and uncertainties of proprietary or regional systems.Adrian Gropperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14435645301228523460noreply@blogger.com
