Blumenthal: Standards development key to healthcare reform
Standards development is at the heart of healthcare reform, according to David Blumenthal, MD, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
"Congress may not know it or realize it, but you all are very much at the center" of making health reform happen, he told members of the HIT Standards Committee during a Wednesday workshop. "Health infrastructure is assumed will be present and functioning when needed. That is a very, very tall order and one we are committed to doing our best to put into place."
