IHE Quality, Research & Public Health supplements published for Public Comment

Well it has been quite a bit of time since my last blog, so I apologize, but life has been busy at Serendipity Health for me. I am not complaining as business is good and I will blog more about some of the work I have been doing associated to HIT in other posts soon, I promise.   

As co-chair for the Quality, Research and Public Health (QRPH) domain for IHE International, I thought it was most important to bring your attention to some newly published supplements out for public comment.  Amit Popat and I are happy to co-chair the QRPH domain that has many, very talented and forward thinking individuals who are trying to solve some of the interoperability issues that are leading edge and necessary for the future of health care improvement.  

I encourage all who are involved with health information exchange and HIT to please review the supplements listed below and provide public comment to allow us to improve this documentation for future use. Please feel free to contact me to learn more about our domain and the work we are forging forward.  

IHE Community,
