CDS commentary on EMR and HIPAA blog
I’ve just written my first post for the well-established EMR and HIPAA blog, one of the flagship sites for the Healthcare Scene network. (This site belongs to Healthcare Scene as well.) My post is a commentary about public perceptions of clinical decision support and a critique of failures by health IT developers, the healthcare industry and the media to design easy-to-use technology and communicate the purpose of CDS to the public. I’ll be writing weekly for that site, usually on Thursdays.
I quote Dr. Larry Weed in that post. If you want more on this pioneer in health informatics and healthcare quality, check out some of my previous posts and stories about him:
- A must-read from Dr. Weed (April 2009)
- ‘Isabel’ as a verb? (February 2007)

- “Dr. Weed’s Software Cure” (Health-IT World/Bio-IT World, July 2004)

Great article. I follow emrandhipaa.com regularly to keep up with the Electronic Health care world. I do, however, wish that these blogs would focus on the many benefits of using SMALL EHR providers instead of Large companies. I recently made the switch from paper to electronic and I have not noticed any negative changes in productivity. In fact, my work day seems to run more smoothly. I have learned that it is important to find a company that will guide both you and your staff members through the change.
