from the "Is clinical or informatics education and experience worth anything?" dept. I'm interested in receiving examples of "Director of Clinical Informatics", "VP of Informatics" or similar Job Descriptions that are lacking a requirement for clinical or informatics education or experience (as opposed to traditional management information systems backgrounds). I want to compile a set of examples to serve as a reference on this practice, and possibly to link to outcomes at some future date. Read More... Submit this to FSDaily! ( 1426 bytes in body)

Posted by Fred Trotter on Wednesday July 16, @04:36PMfrom the Finally making the right moves dept. dept. Mike Doyle, CEO of Medsphere has been lunch with John D. Halamka, the CIO of Harvard Medical School. John has Written a summary of the "new" Medsphere. You'll see that their ideology is very noble - reduce costs, improve quality, and make a difference in healthcare. It is also worth looking at the Medsphere values, vision, value proposition image (which is the first thing that I have seen from the new Medsphere that did not have "proprietary and confidential" written across the bottom) and if it is for real, then it is positive sign of where the company is going!

Alberto Borges, MD writes in with news that a major Health IT bill is up for approval in Congress and that Cerner spent $180,000 in lobbying the government in the 1st quarter alone.

from the dreams do come true dept. If you have followed our previous posts on an open source medications database ClearHealth you are already aware that we now operate a fully public domain data resource regarding medications for use with our ClearHealth system. We have been struggling with a way to make this available and relevant for a wide audience for use in many applications and have now completed the beginning of that effort. Considerations had to be made taking into account liability and the frequently changing nature of some of the data (daily or even hourly in some cases). The HealthCloud developer API's offer a wide range of tools to work programmatically with large and frequently changing medical data sets and have been in a private beta for some time. The first public beta is now available for our CHMED function library which offers access to medications data through REST and AJAX api's. To use HealthCloud API's you need a API KEY You can read the specifications post in our forums and we look forward to your feedback and feature requests.
