Dec. 19 - HIT Definitions Project Announces First Public Forum To encourage widespread industry participation in a project for the Office of the National Coordinator to define key health information technology terms, The National Alliance for Health Information Technology, with the guidance and management of BearingPoint Inc., one of the world's largest management and technology consulting firms, is organizing two public forums to gather comments. The first public forum will be held in Washington, DC on January 16. The public forums will play a vital role in the process of developing consensus-based definitions for electronic health record, electronic medical record, personal health record, health information exchange and regional health information network. Public forum participants will have the opportunity to review work-in-progress from the project's two work groups and provide feedback. The forums offer the healthcare community and other thought leaders the opportunity to comment, share concerns, and make important contributions to the project. "Participants at the public forums will help us end the confusion and remove roadblocks to technology-based progress in healthcare caused by the lack of common definitions for these terms," says Jane Horowitz, vice president and chief marketing officer for the Alliance, who is leading the project. The Washington, DC forum will be held from 9:00 am - 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at Washington Hospital, National Rehabilitation Center Auditorium. More information about the forum as well as the registration form for participants can be found here. There is no registration fee associated with this event.
