Do you feel a need to make sure the non cig-a-like companies, that many of us enjoy, are allowed to enter the market even after the presumed regulations?

Clearer Question: Are you willing, from your position with the resources and capitol, going to, for the good of the community, keep the barrier of entry low into the market place? We have a lot of good e-liquid companies we would like to see continue doing what they do, without going out of business due to licensing costs etc.

Generals I'll give to you. I'm on the other side. I actually write the code. The standard they are going with is the CCR and CCD document. That gives things like Rx list, providers involved in care, icd9 codes, appt history. No real documentation though due to HIPAA laws that state the doctor has to explicitly refer in order for notes to actually get transferred. However, certified systems have to be able to import them and you get some information from it like med list that is crucial and diagnosis.

Hl7 increases the formatting and allows for somewhat of a structured data, but interfaces still have to happen.

It's so long from the goal. It's like ICD-10. Been saying it's going to happen every year, and gets delayed every year. The definition of people being able to access patients record from anywhere are so far from done. I mean, look at epic. Number two software in the country as far as revenue goes, but built on a 40 year old proprietary language. Doesn't play well with everything.

No offense. You sound like you are completely unaware of hitech and the efforts that actually make it happen.

Did you go to life?

And what do you think about NUCCA?

Well, see here's the rub. So say you want CCDs or Rs. Cool. You get them. No interfacing needed.

Anything past the guidelines for meaningful use certification, still going to have to create an interface. Like you said, every system is different. Every system uses different HL7 formats, and some companies just hate each other and refuse to interface. There's still so much work to be done. There are almost 200 million dollar EMR companies too. That makes it even worse.

Love how we just had a very public private conversation lol.
