The Health Care Blog - 5 potential nominees for U.S. National Health IT Coordinator
Colleagues,
As reported in eHealth SmartBrief .... The Health Care Blog has named five potential candidates for the national coordinator of health information technology who (they say) will "encourage innovation and change from the status quo" and "have demonstrated a vision of health care connectedness, quality and efficiency that are in the common, rather than the special, interest." Among the names are:
Farzad Mostashari, MD MPH
Assistant Commissioner
Primary Care Information Project
New York City Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene
Dr. Mostashari chairs the Primary Care Information Taskforce, whose goal is to bring about the adoption of public health-oriented health information technology in underserved communities. He is a primary care physician with the unprecedented experience of having rolled out EHR technology to physicians and medical practices serving over 30 percent of New York City's Medicaid and underserved population.
Carol Diamond, MD, MPH
Managing Director, Health Program
Markle Foundation
Dr. Diamond chairs Markle's Connecting for Health program, a public-private collaborative working to realize the full potential of information technology in health and health care. Among other significant achievements, she led the multi-year collaborative that produced the Common Framework for Networked Personal Health Information, the widely-endorsed (and current default) set of principles and practices that govern the exchange of personally identified health data among health care institutions, and between health care institutions and lay people.
Peter Basch, MD
Medical Director for Clinical Ambulatory Systems
Medstar Health System
Dr. Basch, DC area MedStar Health's medical director for e-Health, has been a leader in applying IT to the needs of physicians. An early EHR adopter in his own practice at MedStar Health, Dr. Basch now is directing EHR implemention throughout all of MedStar's ambulatory practices.
Carolyn M Clancy, MD
Director, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Washington, DC
Prior to Dr. Clancy's appointment on February 5, 2003, Dr. Clancy was Director of the Agency's Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research (COER), then AHRQ's Acting Director. A general internist and health services researcher, she was a Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.
Adam Bosworth
CEO, Keas, Inc.
San Francisco, CA
Mr. Bosworth joined Google in July 2004, having left BEA Systems, and earlier, Microsoft. In early 2006, he gained widespread attention as being "architect, Google Health." Bosworth is widely recognized as a pioneer and key figure in the evolution of extensible markup language, or XML, the standard upon which e-commerce most depends.
