Bloggity Blog - The New IT Standards Blog!

The HIT Standards Committee met on October 29, 2009 and formed an "Implementation Workgroup" which is charged with bringing forward “real-world” implementation experience to the HIT Standards Committee recommendations.  The Implementation Workgroup will have a special emphasis on strategies to accelerate the adoption of proposed standards, or mitigate barriers, if any.  In addition to public meetings designed to uncover new strategies, the Committee also launched a blog. Industry groups, including the AHA, are encouraging hospital leader's to participate.  The blog is located at: http://healthit.hhs.gov/blog/faca/index.php/2009/10/29/hit-standards-committee-pulling-forward-the-benefits-of-healthcare-it/
