HL7 CDA CCD vs. ASTM CCR ...

Posted on March 20, 2010 at 7:54am 0 Comments 0 Likes

Lately there has been a lot of discussions whether CCR will fade out and HL7 CDA CCD emerge as the victorious champion.

converting from one document type to another rather than expecting one

or the Other to disappear.

CDA CCD was derived from CCR but modeled… Continue

Global Healthcare IT Stimulus - Imperfect Action is Better than Perfect Inaction

Posted on April 9, 2009 at 6:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes

Last week before travelling to Chicago, Illinois to attend the HIMSS 2009 Conference I reached out to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and a former supervisor, of a company that I previously worked for to meet, catch up, and possibly to share some industry visions and ideas.

An Innovative EMR? Is it a misnomer? is the most popular blog post to date

An Innovative EMR? Is it a misnomer?

Can something as mundane as an electronic medical record (EMR) be glamorous or glitzy? Can it match the pizzazz of a new smart phone or the graceful lines of a modern sports car? Probably not. A swirling array of regulations such as HITECH, ARRA, meaningful use and HIPAA compliance are masters that vendors must play to before any customer concern or complaint.Clayton Christensen, the renowned author of innovation, concludes that innovation is possible in any kind of business or service.

Why Compare Apples to Guanabanas?

I always tend to “cringe” when I read about comparisons between Health IT, medical devices and other healthcare related software with respect to other verticals (e.g., finance, insurance, retail).Why compare?Saying that the financial industry is many “light years” ahead is extremely inaccurate. Comparing the processing of debits, credits, interests, etc. with medical information and imagery is like comparing apples to guanabanas (a tropical fruit found worldwide near the Equator).Healthcare is…See More
