Register for definitions project public forum
EHR Connection, January 7, 2008
HHS's Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has scheduled two public forums to encourage widespread industry participation in its EHR definitions project, according to its December 18 announcement.
The first public forum will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, January 16, at Washington Hospital's National Rehabilitation Center Auditorium. The second forum will be held at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society conference and exhibition at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, in February. There are no registration fees for either forum.
Forum organizers encourage the healthcare community to participate by attending definitions forums, submitting definitions, and volunteering as work group members. Definitions forums will include a review of the work-in-progress and will provide the healthcare community and other thought leaders an opportunity to comment, to share their concerns, and to contribute to the project.
The public forums are an important step in the process of developing consensus-based definitions of electronic health record, electronic medical record, health information exchange, personal health record, and regional health information network.
