“To all the hospital groups who say they can eliminate this need for interoperability by just going with a single vendor for all their solutions, I would counter by saying you’ll never be dealing with just one vendor.Even if a single EMR vendor is used within a hospital, any data solution should be able to accept data from ancillary clinical information systems, such as from radiology, and referring clinicians and other outside groups.”

– Dr. Shrestha, Vice President of Medical Information Technology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)

Is Meaningful Use Stifling Innovation in Health IT?
“When you put an entire industry under the MU pressure cooker, the need to meet Federal Mandates overwhelms anything else. The need to develop software that is able to support a large number of externally controlled mandates can, and in many cases, has resulted in bad engineering. You can’t innovate well on a deadline.”

“Certainly investors are investing to make money. It’s in their business model. The best way to ensure that they’re investing in breakthrough ideas is to align margin and mission. Find a business model where the more money you make, the more good you’re doing. If you can tie those, if you can make money on improving outcomes, everybody wins.”

– Halle Tecco, CEO of Rock Health

“If EHR design is based on user-friendly design principles, I believe some outstanding issues with existing EHR’s can be addressed (not fully, but much closer to what it is now). ”

–  Michael Chen, MD, Founder of NOSH Charting System

“@RaineDoc: @cmaer @dlschermd Open source doesn’t mean open access. You don’t have to give up security to be open. Often the opposite.”Yep
