document.write('CMIO magazine highlights 2010 prioritiesIn the CMIO magazine, an article entitled CMIO 2010 Compensation Survey: The Results Are In! was recently published. Much of the information is around compensation and the job role, but the interesting highlights are the priorities - IT and business - which they have on their agenda. The priorities outlined are: IT Priorities:  Reducing Medical Errors Delivering Clinical Knowledge to Physicians Implementing/Upgrading Clinical Information Systems Delivering Clinical Knowledge to Physicians Implementing an EMR Improving Departmental Workflow&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Disaster Recovery Enterprisewide Clinical Information Sharing Integrating Systems in a Multi-Vendor Environment Implementing CPOE  Business Priorities:  Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Clinical Information Systems Health Information Exchange Billing/Coding Data Security Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Image Management/PACS Clinical/Diagnostic Workstations  Insightful article on a CMIO\'s priorities, and it would seem that these would be aligned very well to a hospital CIO\'s priorities as well.

document.write('John D. Halamka (CIO at Beth Israel Deaconess MC and Harvard Medical School) provides excellent summary of the IFRDr. John Halamka, who is the CIO at Beth Israel Deaconess MC and Harvard Medical School, provides an excellent summary of the just-released Interim Final Rule (IFR). He includes discussion of the integration standards required to ultimately provide &quot;meaningful use&quot; -- how healthcare providers will integrate with each other in the coming years. All the usual suspects are there -- HL7 V2.X, LOINC, NCPDP, CDA, and CCD. Interesting parts of the analysis:  I was surprised with the continued willingness to let CCR be a formal option in addition to CCD. The impact on labs with the &quot;obvious winds&quot; blowing towards pure LOINC and UCUM mean much better interoperability in the long term and tons of pain in the next decade. Transport options wisely allows either use of socket-layer encryption or VPN-layer protection. This provides a solid &quot;big tent&quot; to allow existing in-place technology to help move data. The various vocabulary changes are going to cost billions. The impact of the standards required by meaningful use will be huge. IMO, ultimately very few systems will be left quietly alone and unimpacted.See AlsoHHS/ONC Interim Final Rule (IFR) - Health Information Technology: Initial Set of Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria for Electronic Health Record Technology.PDF version of the IFRDr. Halamka\'s posting on his \"Life as a Healthcare CIO\" blogLife as a Healthcare CIOMeaningful Use Resources by Corepoint HealthArticles on HITECH & Meaningful Use');
