Discussion of past EMR Subgroup meetings
Sonia and Rich attended the last known EMR Subgroup meeting (10/02), which is believed to have been the last meeting of the subgroup
Past meeting emphasized an EMR solution from the provider perspective
Expectation is that the current work on our HLHCWG charter review/revision will help set the proper tenor going forward
Question about the distinction between EMRs and EHRs
EHRs are a broader interpretation of electronic health records management, while…
EMRs are typically a subset of an EHR, generally provider-facing, used in provider practices (satellite to larger healthcare systems)
New Business
From the good discussions from today's meeting, the group has decided to spin up an ad hoc committee to do some additional due diligence in advance of the next meeting
Sonia has volunteered to serve as lead for this team, with Ben and Mikhail working with Sonia
Rich will loop Steven Elliot (not in attendance) into the team, as Steven and Mikhail have complementary thoughts
Our next meeting will continue the discussion about how best to shape the charter of this subgroup going forward
Next Meeting
Scheduled for Tuesday, 12/04, 0800 Pacific Time
