MedTech I.Q.

The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

Colleagues,

A message transmitted earlier to the "Bio-Medical Informatics" group you may find of interest...

A message from Clymer.."CC"..Conrad Clyburn to all members of Bio-Medical Informatics on MedTechIQ!

Colleagues,

As reported in Government Health IT...Creation of a “neural network” within the sprawling Health and Human Services Department would help the agency meet the country’s most pressing public health challenges, an independent study group said in a new report.

The Institute’s report, "HHS in the 21st Century: Charting a New Course for a Healthier America," identified a number of factors that undermined the effectiveness of HHS, including:

- “divergence in the missions and goals of the department’s agencies,
- limited flexibility in spending,
- impending workforce shortages,
- difficulty in retaining skilled professionals,
- and challenges in effectively partnering with the private sector.”

The information technology infrastructure envisioned by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies would be akin to private-sector executive information systems that capture and integrate data across enterprises.
