Interoperability: Brailer queries private sector

EHR Connection, April 18, 2005

National Health Information Technology Coordinator David Brailer, MD, PhD, last week asked the private sector to address five elements that he believes are most important in building an interoperable national health information network, Health-IT World News reports.

Brailer outlined the elements during the American Medical Informatics Association's spring meeting in Boston:

• uniform standards
• clear policies about data control and ownership
• common security practices
• vendor product security
• interoperability as a business model

Brailer's office finished reviewing the more than 500 submissions it received from a request for information on how to build the network. His office now is "moving into a more active phase," Health-IT World News reports.
