July Community Call: Partnering for Meaningful Use

[Ben Mehling]

Information technology is clearly necessary but not sufficient to attain Meaningful Use.  Success also requires leadership at all levels, knowledge of best practices, implementation of content that supports best practices, and direct incorporation of practices into clinical workflow. A genuine understanding of improved outcomes demands re-evaluation and measurement over time.

 

While some healthcare organizations have achieved these improved outcomes, the level of effort and cost required varies far and wide.  In the spirit of open source collaboration, Medsphere believes the community should work together to find the most efficient path to meaningful use and better medicine.

 

Medsphere has focused on these and similar topics for some time and feels that our research and findings can inform community discussion and provide a starting point from which to achieve crucial Meaningful Use goals.

Ben:  I've had a sudden change in my travel plans, unavoidably.  I won't be able to participate in todays' meeting except to listen in, and I'm not sure of my phone connectivity, either.

Thanks. DCK
