ONC, Interoperability, and the 2/6/2015 #HITsm Tweetchat

I am pleased to be moderating the weekly #HITsm tweetchat this Friday, February 6, 2015 — Beyond Meaningful Use: What’s next for ONC … and the rest of us. Join us at 12 noon Eastern Time.

Top of mind for the #HITsm twitterati this week are the ONC interoperability roadmap released at the end of last week, and the ONC conference taking place this week in DC. Check out the ONC liveblogging from Mark Scrimshire (aka @ekivemark), and the #ONC2015 tweetstream at large.

Here are the topics for this week's chat. I look forward to discussing them with you.

T1 Is interoperability the top issue in Health IT? Why/why not? Other issues that should be at the top of the list?

T2 We have a problem with privacy & security: breaches galore. Will better interoperability make a bad problem worse?

T3 Are government & industry doing enough to promote patient-centeredness? Is it working?

T4 What kinds of limits on patient-generated data are important for Stage 3 of Meaningful Use?

T5 "True innovation comes from Gov't setting the framework while private sector drives innovation." Is Bill Frist full of it?

For those of you joining for the first time, try using Tweetchat, and remember to include the relevant topic number (T1, etc.) at the start of each tweet, and the hashtag, #HITsm, at the end of each tweet.

For the less-than-twitterrific amongst you, you can follow along here at the appointed hour, or read the hour's tweets at your leisure, after the fact, here.
