Electronic
Health Records -- Oct. 1, 2005
"Pieces coming together" -- Dr. David Brailer
Rep. Jon C. Porter
(R-Nev.) said he would introduce in the next two weeks the Federal
Family Health Information Technology Act,
which would mandate the provision of electronic health data
for every federal employee and eligible family member.
Eventually, Porter’s bill would provide a portable,
wallet-sized card containing the information to the federal
employees.
Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) also announced plans to propose
legislation to promote health IT. His bill "would establish
a loan program and financing options for providers furnishing
electronic health record systems," he said. Clay’s bill
also would codify Brailer’s office

Jon Porter mandate ( requirement)
Committee member Jon Porter, a Nevada Republican, said
he plans to introduce legislation in the next couple of weeks
that will require electronic health records for people
using U.S. government health insurance coverage.
With about 9.5 million members on the federal health
plan, the
requirement would push adoption to the private sector as well, Porter said

EHR ( Electronic Health Records) digital summit
the American Health
Information Community (AHIC) as a positive step in
advancing more widespread use of electronic health records across
the continuum of care.
AHIC, a federally charted commission comprised
of 17 representatives of both the private and public sectors,
will hold its first meeting October 7 and will advise Health and
Human Services on making health records digital and
interoperable, and assuring that the privacy and
security of those records are protected in a smooth, market-led
way.
Newt Gingrich,
founder of the Center for Health Transformation
and Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, called
on executives to lead the transformation of the
healthcare system into one that is prevention-focused,
knowledge-rich and electronically based.
Dr. Molly J. Coye, founder and CEO of Health
Technology Center, spoke about the increasing momentum
to electronically connect health systems with individual
providers, noting that along with other technology developments,
this change will affect the financial and collaborative
relationships between hospitals and community physicians. To
illustrate a successful approach to navigating these challenges,
Dr. John Haughom, Senior Vice President at PeaceHealth,
presented a case study on the non-profit health system's Community
Health Record (CHR), which supports seamless care
delivery across inpatient and ambulatory facilities in Alaska,
Washington and Oregon. Today the CHR, built on the IDX
enterprise clinical system, supports care for 1.5
million patients and is used by approximately 16,000 PeaceHealth
employees and affiliates. In addition, 54 independent
practitioners use the system to provide care in their offices via
an ASP/ISP (Application Service Provider/Internet Service
Provider) model and market-based fee structure.

Silverman: VeriChip--Portal to electronic medical records --
April 7, 2005
Scott R. Silverman participated in yesterday's
"RFID in 2005: Technology and Industry Perspectives"
workshop at the invitation of the U.S. Department of
Commerce.
( Ed. note "commerce" = buying or selling, just like it
says in Revelation 13:17)
"We look at ourselves as leaders in the RFID
industry."
In his opening remarks, Mr. Silverman re-affirmed
Applied Digital's strong support of the
Administration's initiative to promote Information
Technology (IT) in healthcare, but pointed out that access to
that information, such as electronic medical records is crucial.
"How do you access the information in that electronic
medical record in an emergency situation without human-based data
input? Our answer is VeriChip....VeriChip can be used as the
gateway or portal to electronic medical records."

GE HealthCare
This morning, GE Healthcare, a unit of General Electric
(nyse: GE - news - people ), announced plans to buy IDX Systems for $1.2
billion, bolstering the $152 billion (sales) giant's position in
the fast-growing market for electronic medical records.
Increasingly, health records at hospitals are going digital as a
way to reduce medical mistakes and better care for patients. New
regulations are helping to spur the move, and President Bush has
publicly called for moving health records, which have long been
recorded in paper charts and scattered files, into an electronic
database. (see: Fixing Hospitals)

VistA-Office Software for all doctors to have EMRs --
Sept. 26, 2005 Electronic Medical Records
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [ CMS ] has
finally released the much anticipated beta version of its
VistA-Office software, which it hopes will push physicians to
adopt electronic health records.
CMS adapted VistA-Office from the Veterans Affairs Department's
electronic health record technology.
The Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology
Architecture program is an electronic medical-records and
clinical-care system used throughout VA's 1,300 medical
facilities.
At the same time, the American Health Information Community [
AHIC ] , a public/private collaborative group led by HHS
secretary Mike Leavitt, will decide on standards for
interoperability and a process to certify the functional
capabilities of electronic health records systems

Dictation Device for Handhelds ( Electronic Medical Records etc)
-- Sept. 23, 2005
Tech S2 has launched a wireless dictation and web-based
transcription service that uses Windows Mobile handhelds as
dictation devices. CaseScribe, aimed at healthcare professionals,
combines speech recognition software on the handheld with a
web-based application server to provide round-the-clock
transcriptions in less than one hour, according to the company.
CaseScribe uses ScanSoft's Dragon NaturallySpeaking software to
capture dictation on Windows Mobile handhelds with wireless
Internet access. The dictations are securely uploaded to the
CaseScribe application server. For dictations shorter than five
minutes, the transcribed dictation is stored and ready for review
within one hour, according to Tech S2. Longer dictations are
processed at a lower priority and can take as long as a day, the
company says.
