And yes, there may be a role for organizations such as yours in the meantime to assist in getting physicians to use EMR systems. In fact, initiatives such as the one your organization is supporting (hosted EMR with secure messaging services) may be the best role for HIE/RHIOs.<BR/><BR/>Longer term, however, the NHIN will most likely reside within the context of the major platform/ecosystem plays. I've actually written quite a bit on the subject over at www.chilmarkresearch.com<BR/><BR/>Drop by some time and provide a comment - would welcome your input.<BR/><BR/>-JohnJohnnysmoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425577121725301407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35319144.post-6292398622743441102008-06-27T03:11:00.000-04:002008-06-27T03:11:00.000-04:00Micky, you make a great point here.

Getting to real data liquidity is going to take a broad combination of efforts over many years -- and regional networks such as what you've done in Newburyport have a critical role to play. Even in a mature market, they really serve two different needs -- one personal, the other clinical -- and I see no reason they wouldn't coexist happily forever. <BR/><BR/>Ideally --- it would be great to discuss how we could get WellportSM connected with HealthVault, so that patients could take the regional benefit they're now receiving and leverage it when they travel or perhaps move to a new area. <BR/><BR/>In any case, very cool stuff and congratulations to you and the MAeHC on taking real steps to make things better for the world. <BR/><BR/>---S<BR/><BR/>Sean Nolan<BR/>Microsoft Health SolutionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
