If anyone things that nerds are unemotional, they need only go to a standards meeting. The notion of using web services to support reliable computer-to-computer messaging gets as much passion from the partly-informed as did the demotion of Pluto. After looking into this I confess that I have added to the confusion. As I have learned, a [...]

Sir Blogsalot has written quite a bit about the idea of simple interoperation, each post developing some aspect of the idea. Recently I combined all the ideas in a single PPT presentation. You can download it by clicking here to leave the Gartner Blogs web site and then clicking on the link to the presentation. [...]

After publishing “It Takes a Region:” Progress Without EHRs I received an email from Alan Glaseroff updating me on the current state of the chronic disease efforts and the proliferation of EHRs, which is now up to 41% by physician count. With his permission I am including portions of his email here: We did use [...]

In Simple Interop: Use Cases we have made a somewhat unorthodox proposition, to support mixed communication between people and automatic computer processing programs. We have done so because of the issues raised in Rant on Heath Information Technology Asynchrony . This proposition entails solving some issues. For example, what if The email is never delivered [...]

This post zeroes in on exactly why the simple interop approach is important. It does so by listing a number of use cases. They illustrate the issues of getting to interoperability while an industry is in transition – and are industries ever not in transition?

This post seeks not to define the full scope of interactions of a PHR but simply to define a simple connection between PHRs and other health IT systems. We make two claims for this approach. (1) it greatly simplifies the roll-out of connections between PHRs and other healthcare IT systems, thus accelerating the roll-out of [...]

There are many definitions to certain common terms associated with healthcare information exchange. These are definitions that I am using in preparing the “simple interop” series of posts. These definitions will not necessarily be suitable for other purposes and are not necessarily consistent with the other sources, including Gartner research notes. Health domain name a [...]

Like most of us, I have been enjoying holidays with family. My computational efforts have been confined to bringing the awesome processing power of a Canon 7D DSLR and Adobe Lightroom to bear on snapshots of grandchildren, ages 3 and 6, opening presents.

Since Simple Interop: The Health Internet Node was posted there has been a very thoughtful thread on the notion of having a top level domain (TLD) for healthcare. In the original post I thought I was pretty clear that we did not think this is a good idea, but in a separate posting I can [...]
